Bricostore was a French home improvement retailer which operated stores in France, Hungary, Romania and Croatia. Founded by the French Bresson family in Paris in 1991, the company operated 7 stores in France until 2001, when they sold 6 stores to Bricorama and closed the remaining one.[1]
In Hungary, Bricostore opened its first store in 1999 and had a total of 9 stores.[2] The stores were closed in 2012 and subsequently sold to other retailers and companies, such as OBI who bought 3 stores.[3]
Bricostore opened the first store in Romania in March 2002 and reached 15 stores in March 2011.[4] In April 2013, the British Kingfisher bought the stores for 75 million euro and rebranded them as Brico Dépôt.[5]
