Decathlon: Three new openings in November
The sporting goods chain will soon be adding locations in Lucerne, Kreuzlingen and Interlaken and expanding in the canton of Fribourg.
The French sporting goods specialist Decathlon is opening three more stores in German-speaking Switzerland in November and is moving into a significantly larger sales area in Avry-sur-Matran (FR). With the three new stores, Decathlon has increased its presence throughout Switzerland from 40 to 48 stores since the beginning of the year. The opening of up to a dozen additional Decathlon stores in Switzerland is planned by the end of next year.
On November 14, a city store with a sales area of 430 square meters will open its doors in the city of Lucerne. As in other central locations, Decathlon is also focusing heavily on "Click & Collect" here. According to local media, the store will be located at Kapellgasse 8. On November 19, Decathlon will open in the "Ziil" shopping center in Kreuzlingen (TG) on a sales area of just under 1,700 m². One week later, on November 26, Decathlon will open a city branch in Interlaken with a sales area of around 530 square meters.
Decathlon is also moving to a new space in Avry-sur-Matran near Fribourg. Within the same shopping center, the chain is almost doubling its sales area to 2,150 m².
A previously announced store opening took place in Spreitenbach (AG) in mid-June. The flagship store in the Tivoli shopping center is Decathlon's largest in Switzerland. This was followed in July by a branch in the "Metalli" in Zug. (aw)
