Construction of first "Mr.Bricolage" facility in Serbia completed - 9m EUR invested in Niš-based center

Only five months after it officially entered Serbian market, "Mr. Bricolage", the famous French hypermarket chain that functions by "do-it-yourself" principle, has finished the first phase of construction of its own facility in Niš by installing an imposing 26-meter flashing logo on the roof of the new retail center.

- We are very satisfied with the fact that we can say that the construction of "Mr. Bricolage" facility in Niš goes as we planned - said Milen Hristov, the Director General of company "Brico Spec".

- The company that got this job has met all the agreed conditions and deadlines. Also, we have finished the process of recruiting candidates, and 75 new employees are sent to the specialized training programmes that are adapted to their jobs and created in accordance with "Mr. Bricolage" standards - he said.

At the surface of 2 ha, in Mediana Boulevard in Niš, a modern retail facility, unique in the south of Serbia, has been built at 5,800 square meters. Organization of the parking lot with 180 parking places and accompanying infrastructure has also been completed, while the second phase of construction, which includes organization of the interior and equipping of the facility with 40,000 articles for gardening and housing needs, is expected to be finished by the end of November.

The investment worth 9m EUR, which is the amount of money that "Brico Spec" invested in the construction of the first facility in Serbia, is only an indication that the plans of company "Mr.Bricolage" for our country are very ambitious since the company plans to open another 4 such facilities in the near future and, thus, become one of the leaders in local "do-it-yourself" market.

Also, company "Doverie Brico", a part of which is "Brico Spec", has just signed the international ten-year franchising contract with mother company "Mr.Bricolage". During that period, the company is obliged to stay up to date with European standards of modern operations stipulated by this "do-it-yourself" hypermarket chain.

- Most citizens of Niš who have been visiting the nearest "Mr. Bricolage" store in Sofia over the last few years in order to buy staff for their homes and gardens will soon be able to reach our new center in Mediana Boulevard by taking a local bus. We expect to be able to wish warm welcome not only to all citizens of the Niš region, but also the citizens of the whole south Serbia, just on time for the New Year and Christmas holidays - Hristov concluded.
