With four new stores in the first six months of this year, the French garden centre chain Kiriel has continued to expand. Agricentre Dumas has two branches in Laguenne and Espartignac, the Armbruster store has launched in Pierry and SBM Agripartage in Queaux.

Agricentre Dumas opted for a change of brand at the beginning of the year and has switched its stores in Laguenne (300 m²) and Espartignac (700 m²) to the Kiriel brand. The Armbruster company has opened its fifth branch in all with a retail area of 300 m². SBM Agripartage was established at the start of 2023 by two young entrepreneurs to develop an agricultural retail business and a rural self-service store on 200 m².
