Just six months after the launch of the official site www.mr-Bricolage.com, Mr.Bricolage has activated its new virtual storefront: www.mr-bricolage.fr

A new home page

The new home page represents stage one for this new site. The home page displays a rich range of elements corresponding to the current expectations of customers: text, photos and videos. During the second half of the year, a second stage will allow access to e-Commerce with an original range of on-line products.

Rich content

The site can offer many videos on various topics: trends, DIY & decorations, gardening and videos with tips and advice. 60 videos are currently available, with 100 expected in June and 150 by the end of the year. Specialist columnists contributed to these videos in their respective fields: Karine Quédreux, chief editor for the magazine C-Déco, Laetitia Nallet, DIY & decorations journalist (RTL, France 3 – Côté Maison, women’s magazines, etc.) and Philippe Collignon, “Mr Garden” of the French morning TV show “Télématin”.

Other sections with advice for internet users are available, e.g. almost 40 DIY suggestions in PowerPoint format (photos and text, with step by step explanations). A convenient little tool can be used to calculate wall paper and paint quantities for decoration projects.

The site will be constantly upgraded. In addition to new videos, the site will regularly offer new tools and new sections.

A participation-based website

The site currently allows internet users to publish their own achievements by uploading before & after photos of their projects. The first 200 achievements selected for publication will receive a gift voucher.

Right with the times, all site pages and videos may be shared on Facebook, Twitter, Digg and other Technorati sites with a simple click.

We are also currently considering the addition of pages dedicated to internet users, allowing them to discuss their experiences.

Six months after the launch of its official site, particularly including a blog and an iPhone site, the Mr.Bricolage group is breaking new ground on the Internet.

The Mr.Bricolage store in Thouars (Deux-Sèvres) located around fifty kilometres to the east of Cholet, has expanded. The store has a new contemporary façade (see photo).

After a few months of works, during which the store remained open, the store can now offer even more products. The indoor surface area of the sales outlet was extended to almost 3,000 m² including a cold glass area of almost 600 m², plus a hothouse and a pet areacovering a total area of more than 500 m², together with an outdoor area covering 400 m² dedicated to the nursery. An adjacent construction-materials area of 1,650 m² completes the new site.

In the context of its “Graines d’or”, the J Group awarded Mr.Bricolage the bronze trophy in the gardening category for DIY superstores. Gardening customers questioned in the context of a large scale survey highlighted the following advantages for the store, in decreasing order of importance::
