another french chain called leroy merlin who trade under name AKI are now building a very large store next to Makro...they do diy stuff etc

one wonders why so many french chains can do so well here leclerk (spelt as you say it) intermarche, leroy merlin

wonder why tescos or john lewis cant open something here

I've been told that El Corte Ingles is to open in Faro. Any info?

do hope so - they are a wonderful shop, very helpful and carry things you never see normally
