Furniture/furnishing stores
The British Habitat operates through 6 stores on the Spanish market. Inditex extended its Zara offer with household textiles, including bath towels, table and bed linen. The number of Zara Home stores is 135 in 11 countries, of which 96 in Spain (http://www.zarahome.com). The
Spanish furniture and furnishing multiple Ka (http://www.ka-international.com) operates with 450 stores in 45 countries, of which over 200 on the domestic market. Another domestic chain is Moblerone (51 stores; http://www.moblerone.es). Foreign furniture and furnishing multiples on the Spanish market, besides Ikea and Habitat, are Roche Bobois (30 stores), Conforama (15 stores), Descamps (16 stores) and Geneviève Lethu (6 stores), all from France.
Department stores
The Spanish department store market remains very underdeveloped, with just one chain, El
Corte Inglés. This company achieves a broad national reach through 67 stores and dominates
non-food retail in Spain (http://www.elcorteingles.es). El Corte Inglés department stores have
a mid-market positioning and the group has strong brand recognition throughout Spain. Other
players are variety stores Dunnes Stores (5 stores, from Ireland) and Marks & Spencer (5
stores from the UK).
Home shopping stores
Home shopping activities are relatively weak in Spain. The major German and French players
are present in Spain, but their progress has been slow. Leading Spanish mail-order companies
with sales in household and furnishing textiles, besides general goods, are Venca
(http://www.venca.es part of Otto Versand) and La Redoute Catalogue
(http://www.laredoute.es).
Do-It-Yourself (DIY) stores
The Spanish DIY sector has grown in recent years, mirroring the strong performance in the
housing market. The French giant Leroy Merlin is the market leader, which operates through
41 stores of the same name as well as its other company AKI (24 stores), formerly a
competitor. The DIY sector is littered with domestic co-operative groups (like
Bricovalle/Bricofac, 275 stores; http://www.bricovalle.es) and buying groups (like Bricogroup,
60 stores; http://www.bricogroup.com), as the small independents work together in order to
defend themselves against the threat from bigger rivals.
Hyper- and supermarkets
Hyper- and supermarkets grew in number, as did textiles sales through these channels. The
number of hypermarkets grew from 315 outlets in 2002 to 360 in 2006. Major national
hypermarket chains are: Hipercor (37 stores; https://www.hipercor.es) and Eroski (84 stores;
http://www.eroski.es). Major international hypermarket chains came from France: Carrefour
(147 stores) and Alcampo (47 stores and part of Auchan). The number of supermarkets grew
from 6,600 in 2002 to 12,500 in 2006. Major national supermarket chains are: Eroski Centers
and City+ (567 stores), part of the Eroski group, Mercadone (1,050 stores), Caparabo (570
stores) and Dinosol Supermercados (415 stores). Major international supermarket chains are
Sabeco (126 stores, part of Auchan http://www.sabeco.es) and Carrefour (143 stores;
http://www.carrefour.es). German discounters, like Aldi (154 stores), Lidl (410) and
Tengelmann’s Plus (239) compete on the Spanish market with the French discount chain Dia
(1,961 stores, owned by Carrefour http://www.dia.es). The German Metro/Makro Cash & Carry operates through 34 stores in Spain
