TCN and Volker Wessels to develop Decathlon megastore at Retail Park ‘Plein Westermaat’
Decathlon has chosen Retail Park Plein Westermaat as the venue for a megastore of 5,700 sqm of sports and outdoor gear. The megastore is part of the third phase of the development of the Retail Park, which recently announced the construction started. This third phase also includes stores like Home Dock, Kwantum, Leen Bakker and Decokay.
Decathlon is a French sports formula with 45,000 employees and 540 stores. The chain is represented in 18 countries. Decathlon has two offices in the Netherlands, in Kerkrade and in Amsterdam. In March 2012, a third location opened in Best.
Decathlon has the desire to open more megastores in the Netherlands in order to further expand. These will all be megastores, located on the outskirts of cities. The size of the megastore in Hengelo fits well with the widespread nature of Plein Westermaat.
Plein Westermaat Phase 3 will open its doors to the public early 2013.
