Overview

• Decathlon and Galeria have formalized a partnership to integrate Decathlon stores within Galeria locations, aiming to revitalize retail spaces and expand market presence.
• The first Decathlon store within a Galeria location is set to open in Konstanz in August 2025, with additional openings planned for Duisburg, Freiburg, Trier, and Kassel by the end of the year.
• Galeria, currently operating 83 locations, is undergoing a restructuring process following its 2023 insolvency and 2024 court-approved restart under new ownership by NRDC and Bernd Beetz.
• Decathlon's store sizes within Galeria locations will range between 1,500 and 3,500 square meters, complementing Galeria's existing sports product offerings.
• This partnership aligns with Decathlon's plan to open over 60 new stores in Germany by 2027 and Galeria's strategy to enhance its offerings through collaborations, including a prior partnership with Lidl.
