KYIV, March 27 – The French sportsware brand Decathlon, part of the Auchan Group, on March 23, 2019 opened its first store in Kyiv and plans to focus on expansion in this city in the coming two years.

"We have a plan, but it is still variable. This year we may open another store in Kyiv. Next year, new stores will also be in Kyiv. In 2021, the Decathlon brand will go beyond the city to Odesa, Lviv and possibly other major cities," CEO at Decathlon Ukraine Florent Guieu told Interfax-Ukraine during the opening of the first store on Saturday (March 23).
