ANPF

About ANPF

ANPF refers, in the Mr.Bricolage universe, to the Action Nationale des Promoteurs du Faites-le-vous-même, the historic entity that brings together the network’s member-owners. In practice, ANPF plays a central role in the group’s governance: it represents the independent stores affiliated with the brand, contributes to strategic decision-making, and helps shape the long-term direction of the network. Mr.Bricolage is built around a cooperative-style model of independent entrepreneur-members, with governance closely tied to the interests of its shareholder-operators. Within this ecosystem, ANPF has been a decisive force in the brand’s development, the organization of its shareholder base, and the consolidation of control over the group. The company’s reference documents indicate that the capital of ANPF is held by the operating companies of Mr.Bricolage-branded stores, and that its board is composed exclusively of members. This structure reflects a governance model rooted in the network itself, where strategic decisions are taken with close attention to the operational realities of store owners and local markets. ANPF has also been associated with major structural moves within the group, including initiatives aimed at simplifying the shareholding chain and strengthening Mr.Bricolage’s direct control structure. Recent group disclosures mention a project to streamline the ownership structure, with ANPF set to hold direct control of Mr.Bricolage rather than doing so through intermediate holding entities. This highlights expertise in governance design, shareholder alignment, and the preservation of a stable control framework. From a strategic perspective, ANPF embodies network leadership centered on proximity, local market presence, multibrand formats, and omnichannel development. Its role is not purely financial: it is also about safeguarding the entrepreneurial identity of the group, supporting the adaptation of the model to changing consumer behavior, and reinforcing the brand’s competitiveness in the French home-improvement market. Over time, ANPF has become a key actor in ensuring continuity, shareholder coherence, and the transmission of the Mr.Bricolage model.
