Within the next four years the company plans to open more stores in Bulgaria’s biggest cities such as Sofia, Varna, Plovdiv and Burgas.

The retailer's ambitious long-term plans for the Bulgarian market call for opening up to 20 outlets.

Decathlon stores generally cover large areas of around 4,000 square meters. They have shop-front basketball courts, for instance, and other "experiences" include similar areas for badminton, soccer and ping-pong, where customers can play in-store for free.
