toom

toom is a German DIY retail chain that operates stores under the toom Baumarkt brand. It is part of the REWE Group, one of Germany’s largest retail groups. The chain maintains stores primarily in Germany, with additional locations in Austria. Its product range covers construction materials, renovation supplies, garden products, and home improvement items, including tools, electrical goods, plumbing, paint, and related accessories, as well as seasonal and decorative products.

The toom concept originated with REWE’s expansion into the DIY sector during the 1990s and has since grown into a nationwide network. Stores are typically large-format, single-location outlets designed to offer a wide selection under one roof. In addition to physical stores, toom operates an online shop (toom.de) that provides product browsing, home delivery, and pickup options.

Competitors in the DIY retail sector include other chains such as OBI and Hornbach. The company is part of REWE’s multi-format retail portfolio, which also includes supermarkets and online services. Toom’s positioning emphasizes breadth of assortment and accessibility for consumers undertaking home improvement projects.
