Praktiker

==1978–present==
Praktiker filed for bankruptcy on July 10, 2013, closing down all of its stores until 2015. However, there were still a few countries that had Praktiker stores closed years later, and some that still use the name, those being Bulgaria, Greece and Hungary. While Praktiker closed its physical German and Turkish stores, both countries' divisions remain operational as online stores.
Praktiker entered Romania in 2002, Ukraine in 2007, Albania in 2009 and Poland in 2001. They closed their stores in 2020, 2017 and 2011 respectively. Praktiker Poland filed for bankruptcy in 2017. Praktiker planned to open a Moldovan store in 2009, but these plans were later cancelled.
The Ukrainian locations were sold to Leroy Merlin in 2017, being converted into the latter. Romania's locations were also purchased by Brico Dépôt that same year, but there were stores still using the Praktiker name until 2020.
