Kingfisher's plans

Kingfisher, Europe's number one, intends to open 40 stores altogether in ten countries during the course of the current 2007/2008 financial year. This will result in the total number of outlets belonging to the group's four retail formats, B&Q, Castorama, Brico Dépôt and Koçtas, rising to 759. The majority of the new stores will be launched in France, followed by China and Poland.
