French sports goods retailer Decathlon will open its first two-story flagship in Luoyang as it expands its Greater China footprint.

When complete, it will be the sports retailer’s second store in the city, located in the province of Henan – and its largest store yet in China.

The new Decathlon China store will be located at the intersection of Huashan Road and Hangong Road in Xigong district. It boasts 13,000 sqm of retail floor space and include a playground for children.

Decathlon, which opened its first two stores in Singapore this year as part of a new Asia-wide focus, is a full-line sports supplies retailer which also designs, manufactures and wholesales products. It has more than 1300 stores in 32 countries and plans to have 220 stores trading in 100 Chinese cities by the end of this year.
