We know the list of Conforama brands that are going to close their doors. According to a document from the CGT that we were able to consult, these are indeed 32 stores that are affected by the plan for “deep and necessary transformation”, which involves the elimination of 1,900 jobs in total.

How did the management choose the stores? “These are the most loss-making, those for which there was no prospect of the future,” says one in the entourage of the direction. This decision is part of a long-term context. Conforama has failed to adapt to the furniture market, particularly with competition from online sales and new ways of working. In five years, Conforama has lost 500 million euros. Our goal is to return to profitability within 18 to 24 months, with stores whose operating methods will be transformed. “
