What believers are saying

  • February 26, 2026 retail-media rollout targets 75 stores and 18.6 million annual customers.
  • September 2026 Onet-le-Château opening and Blois launch extend Boulanger's physical footprint.
  • Franchise leadership under Aurélien Châtelet, named January 2026, supports faster national expansion.

What critics are saying

  • Boulanger closed twelve kitchen showrooms in January 2025, eliminating 57 jobs.
  • Store relocations in Lyon and openings like Blois strain operations and staffing through 2026.
  • Amazon, Fnac Darty, and marketplaces can commoditize hardware; margin pressure threatens store economics.

  • Its Hénin-Beaumont warehouse doubled picking productivity in six weeks after April 2025 Locus Robotics deployment.
