zeb Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Hello Dennis - you may not have to go so far! Mr Bricolage in Ruffec has staircases as well as 333Ms (sur command), also Bricomarchè at Civray (often on promo).Short answer though, yes there is a Brico Depot but it's about 20 kms north of Poitiers on the RN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennisj Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Thanks Zeb, I have seen the 3m's offerings and they seem over priced, apparently Brico depot are more realistically priced. Do Brico Depot have a web site?Regards, Dennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 hi DennisRe Brico Depot, no they don't have a web site, well not yet anyway. As part of the Kingfisher group, it looks promising when you get to their site, but only job vacancies then seem to be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it disappeared at roughly the time Kingfisher sold off Woolies. I understand the Castorama management HATE the Brico Depot people, because the latters turnover per sqm is higher and - despite their magins being smaller - their gross profit beats Castoramas, and they are always being told "why can't your group perform as well as this?" However, Castorama is the 'senior' of the 2 and deeply resents this jumped-up barrow-boy out-selling them!Perhaps this explains why they've lost their website!p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpprh Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Hithis came up recently and one of the forum members sent me the Brico Depot address list. I posted it on the web, and it is here : http://www.the-languedoc-page.com/languedoc-living-bricodepot.htm Funnily enough, I get loads of visitors who have typed "brico depot" into search engines !Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
