Formido bouwmarkten B.V. was a Dutch Hardware store-chain. Formido opened its first store on 22 November 1976 in Waddinxveen. It was part of the franchise-organisation Maxeda, which headquarters is located in Amsterdam.[1] As of 2011 Formido had 80 stores, all of which were located in the Netherlands. Of these stores, 15 were managed by Formido and 65 were franchised.[1] Maxeda also owns the Hardware store-chain Praxis and Brico.

In the first half year of 2008 Formido, Praxis and Brico had a combined revenue of 755 million euro.[2]

In September 2017 Maxeda announced that they would deprecate the Formido brand and replace the stores with the Praxis formula.[3]
