Castorama crosses the Pyrenees

Castorama intends to break into the Spanish market in September, when it plans to launch an outlet of 4 800 m² under the name of Bricostock at Vallidad in the vicinity of Madrid. A company spokesman announced that two further openings are scheduled for October, one in Lorgona in the Basque region and one in Valencia. The retail areas will range between 4 000 and 5 000 m². The concept is based on the French Brico Dépôt format, though more emphasis is given to local products.
