B&M buys French discount chain Babou

The group, owned by the Arora family, operates the chain of B&M branded stores and concluded the deal with Paminvest, the parent company of Babou. Discussions surrounding the transaction have been in the works for the last three years, since B&M was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2014.
