Prospects in Tunis

Bricorama, a French DIY group, has indicated in a presentation of the 2010 annual report that it intends/wants to hold on to its franchisee in Tunis, despite the political upheaval in the country. His DIY store was among those adversely affected by the turmoil: about half of its stock was either destroyed or plundered at a cost of € 1.6 mio, according to information from the company. The store reopened on March 5.
