The Bricostore in Arad was closed at the end of August for remodeling.
Kingfisher is currently remodeling stores in Ploiesti, Pitesti, Brasov and Oradea.
Kingfisher plans to reach around 50 stores in Romania on the long term. The British DYI group had a turnover of GBP42 million (EUR51.66 million) in Romania in the first half of the 2014/2015 financial year (February-July). In the same period, the 15 Bricostores posted a gross loss of GBP6 million (EUR7.38 million), including costs for their remodeling into Brico Depot stores.
The first two Brico Depot stores opened in March and the company said it would speed up the remodeling process for the remaining 13.
