Décathlon is said to be planning to open a 4,000-square-meter store in the Wandsbek district of Hamburg at the beginning of 2016. It would be its 25th store in Germany after two other stores due to be opened shortly in Mannheim and Hückelhoven. Meanwhile, local planning authorities have reportedly denied a request by the French retail giant to open a store in Oberhausen, in the middle of the busy Ruhr area, but Décathlon is not giving up.
