Leroy Merlin Italy announces a significant reorganization of its store network in Lombardy, which includes a plan of openings, renovations, and closures, with the aim of improving the customer shopping experience.

Opening of the Arese store and closure of the Baranzate store

The company will open a new store in the municipality of Arese in April 2026. The new store, which will cover a total area of 7500 square meters indoors and 3000 square meters outdoors and employ over 200 people, will further strengthen the brand’s presence along the Milan-Varese axis and in the surrounding areas, including the Milanese hinterland, the Saronno area, and the municipalities located along the Milan-Como axis. The new opening is part of a project to redefine the presence of Leroy Merlin stores in the Milan metropolitan area, aimed at ensuring greater capillarity in the territory and greater proximity to customers, to respond specifically to their needs. To this end, in May 2026, the brand will provide for the simultaneous closure of the Baranzate store: customers of this store will be able to continue to use the services and offers of Leroy Merlin at the new Arese store.

Renovation of the Rozzano and Carugate stores, closure of the Assago and Agrate stores

Over the next few months, to ensure an even better shopping experience and quality of service offered to consumers, the brand will support investments and modernization interventions in the Rozzano and Carugate stores, with the consequent closure of the neighboring Assago and Agrate (Caponago) stores, scheduled for September and December 2025, respectively. The revision of the sales network in the Milanese territory will take place in full respect of the employment levels guaranteed by current employment contracts. Leroy Merlin will in fact protect the job continuity of its employees, enhancing their professional skills within the company, in the stores present in the Milanese territory.

Investment of 42 million euros

This project is part of a broader development plan of the brand in Lombardy, for a total investment of over 42 million euros. From 2023 to today, the company has in fact consolidated its presence in the Region through the creation of new store formats, more agile and specialized in the world of home projects. These include the opening of the Bathroom Showroom in Viale Piave in Milan in November 2023 and the Home Showroom in Como, inaugurated in January 2025. Furthermore, during 2024, the brand supported significant investments in the Lissone store for the modernization of the showroom and the creation of a permanent garden and in the Corsico store, inaugurating a new building center of over 1500 square meters, to offer customers an even wider assortment and an improved shopping experience.

Leroy Merlin is the historic brand of the Adeo group, which operates in several European countries. In Italy, it is the leader in large-scale DIY and has more than 50 large-surface stores.
