On December 19, 2025, a new 260 m² Mobalpa store, part of the Fournier Group, opened in the northern commercial zone of Arras, France (62). The store is managed by Pascal Dessenne and his stepdaughter Amélie Depuydt, who have combined their expertise to establish a family-run business focused on home improvement. Pascal brings 30 years of experience in management and logistics from a major DIY chain, while 25-year-old Amélie contributes over three years of experience as a kitchen designer and salesperson.

The duo selected Mobalpa for its French manufacturing and wide product range, enabling extensive customisation for clients. The showroom features six kitchen displays, including two "mirror" models highlighting different budget options, a fully furnished 50 m² apartment, and a virtual reality area for immersive design experiences.
This opening strengthens Mobalpa's presence in the Hauts-de-France region. The brand now operates 234 stores in France (272 worldwide) and reported a turnover of €398 million in 2024.
Pascal and Amélie emphasise comprehensive, personalised support from design to installation. By collaborating with carefully selected external service providers, the team aims for zero defects and full customer satisfaction. Pascal notes, "Together, we want to provide our customers with complete satisfaction through comprehensive, reliable, and always personal support."
With this new store, Mobalpa and its Arras-based entrepreneurs are reinforcing their commitment to high-quality, customisable kitchen solutions while delivering an immersive, customer-centric experience.
