Coop Bau + Hobby maintains stable sales despite one store less

The Swiss DIY store chain Coop Bau + Hobby made sales of CHF 630 mio (EUR 592 mio) in 2019; which is practically the previous year's level, or rather an increase of CHF 1 mio (EUR 0.94 mio) or 0.2 per cent. It should be taken into account here that the market leader also has one store less than at the end of 2018, namely 73 locations. Retail space has reduced by 0.9 per cent to 307.197 m².
