Tom&Co cuts back on its French stores but expands in Belgium

Tom&Co is downsizing its French store network as losses continue to mount. In Belgium, however, the pet supply chain is going on the offensive: by 2030, the chain aims to open up to 70 new stores. Remarkably, the retailer is also bringing franchise stores back under its own management.

France is shrinking

Last year, Tom&Co closed fifteen unprofitable French stores. As a result, 56 locations remain, reports De Tijd. Stores located too far from distribution centers were closed, particularly in the southwest. The chain will now focus on the regions north of the Loire.
