The 56 stores currently operated are located in densely-populated communities not served by major roads. With a presence in Abidjan (19 locations) and inland (30 stores), they are typically between 350 m² and 450 m².

In 2012, these sales outlets together generated pre-tax revenue of XOF 35.5 billion (approximately € 54 million). 60% of this revenue is generated by the Bonprix stores in Abidjan, 25% by the sales force and 15% by stores outside the capital.

6 more stores are currently under construction: 4 in Abidjan (all retail) and 2 inland (1 wholesale and 1 retail).

Three further stores for inland locations are also at the planning stage.

A huge storage facility is dedicated solely to this part of the business: 14,500 m² under cover and 15,000 m² open-air.

With a fleet of 60 trucks and vans, the Bonprix network is totally independent in terms of logistics.
