“We do not want to comment on this information. Leroy Merlin in Romania, as any other ADEO company, is working on its physical and digital development plan to be useful to the residents in the area,” ADEO officials say via Leroy Merlin representatives.
The home-related issues are local first of all and require going near the residents. The next Leroy Merlin store to open is in Pitesti, scheduled for next week, with more to follow, including two stores in Bucharest in 2025, they added.
ZF reported earlier on Friday that UK’s Kingfisher Group, which owns DIY retailer Brico Dépôt in Romania, was in talks to sell its Romanian operation and of the several potential buyers, Leroy Merlin was in pole position.
Kingfisher officials did not return ZF’s calls for comment.
