“Expansion in other countries and opening new stores have always been priorities for JYSK. Thus, logistics management is very important. Our acquisitions center is meticulously seeking suppliers worldwide,” stated Alexandru Bratu, country manager for JYSK Romania and Bulgaria.
JYSK currently has 14 stores in Romania and plans to expand its store chain on the local market on the medium term to 100 units.
JYSK Group entered the Romanian market in 2007, through franchised stores. In March 2013, the retailer became owner of the stores in Romania and Bulgaria. The operations for the two countries are run from its headquarters in Bucharest.
JYSK Group, founded and controlled by businessman Lars Larsen, has over 2,100 stores and 18,500 employees in 35 countries. The group registered sales of EUR2.52 billion in the 2012/ 2013 financial year.
