For every store it opened in Romania, Decathlon also launched a repair service. Where you can simply go to repair sports equipment, not necessarily bought from them. Or you can return broken products under a buy-back scheme. You bring a defective bicycle, you receive a voucher to buy something new at a discount.

Repairs are the basis of the circular economy and sustainability. If all stores and all manufacturers were concerned with offering repair services, not just selling us new products, we would be far ahead.
