As reported on granconsumo.tv, the company opened a total of 260 stores in 18 months. Its initial plan was to open 240 shops in 24 months.
The largest number of openings for the company between January and June 2016 was in Poland, where the company opened 44 new outlets, followed by France with 28 and Italy with 10.
In Spain, the company closed the first half of 2016 with 588 centres, six less than in 2015.
During this season, Naturhouse's international presence grew, and the business now has a presence in 32 countries, aided by the signing of three master-franchise agreements with Malta, India and Hungary.
