Decathlon was founded in 1976 in Englos, France, by Michel Leclercq, per the company's own "einblicke.decathlon.de" corporate site. Its first store outside France — and the first in Germany — opened in Dortmund-Kley in 1986. In Germany, Decathlon now operates more than 80 stores, two logistics centers and four campus locations, employing about 5,000 people, per the same source.
Decathlon developed its first in-house bicycles in 1986 and introduced dedicated own brands including Tribord (water sports) and Quechua (mountain sports) in 1996, per einblicke.decathlon.de; the shop today covers equipment and apparel across a wide range of sports.
Per Decathlon's German returns page, purchases made directly from Decathlon (excluding gift cards, services and marketplace-partner products) carry a 30-day return right, with returns accepted in-store or via free DHL/Hermes return shipping, and refunds processed within 14 days after inspection.
