With a rather wide reign, Kingfisher operates a network of more than 2,000 stores in 13 countries in Europe and Asia. General merchandise holdings include 800 Woolworths stores in the UK (home and family products) and 80 MVC stores (CDs, videos). Its do-it-yourself (DIY) portfolio includes 56% of B&Q (Europe's #1 DIY retailer, created with the merger of its 290-plus B&Q stores with France's Castorama chain), more than 160 Darty stores (#1 electrical chain in France), and about 260 Comet electrical stores in the UK. The firm also holds other DIY stores across Europe: Brico Dépôt and Dubois Matériaux in France, Réno-Dépôt in Canada, NOMI in Poland, and Koçtas in Turkey. Kingfisher sold its 700 Superdrug stores in 2000.
