Kingfisher casts off

The recruitment process has already started to recruit staff for the first store. This will provide tough competition for local players such as Polish Construction Stocks (PSB), known for its Mrówka shops. There are 30 Castorama stores in Poland, which ranks it third as far as the number of outlets is concerned. Castorama has a 10-percent share in the construction materials wholesale market, making it the second-largest player just after PSB, which has a 15-percent share.
