Brico is a Belgian hardware store chain. The chain focuses mainly on DIY items but also sells garden-related articles. The chain has 140 locations (as of February 2016) spread over Belgium, about 95 of which are franchised.
==History== The first store opened in 1973 in Schoten. The name Brico comes from the French bricoler, which means to do DIY. During the 1980s, Brico produced two brands of its own, namely Stop and Bricobi. Currently, these brands are known as Central Park and Sencys. Until 2002, Brico was part of the GIB Group, which was sold to the Dutch Vendex (currently Maxeda). Maxeda also owns the Hardware store chains Praxis and Formido.
