Mr. Bricolage’s turnover in France slumps

The French DIY group Mr. Bricolage has closed the first half of 2026 with a significant drop in turnover. Its 1,065 stores and online shop generated EUR 1.0401 bn in turnover, 4.7 per cent less than in the same period last year; on a like-for-like basis, this represents a 3.3 per cent decline.

The decline is primarily attributable to results in the core market of France. Here, turnover at the 986 stores fell by 6.8 per cent to EUR 852.7 mio; on a like-for-like basis, the decline was 5.0 per cent. The 6.1 per cent increase abroad (up 2.9 per cent on a like-for-like basis) was not enough to offset this: there are only 79 stores operating in these markets, with turnover of EUR 182.3 million. E-commerce contributed just 5.2 per cent to total turnover, representing an increase of 1.4 per cent.
