The store of Otopeni has a 1,300-sqm area.
According to Iraida Paiuc, sales and marketing manager at JYSK Romania and Bulgaria, the retailer for 2022 plans to both open new units and refurbish the ones opened ahead of 2018.
JYSK opened the first store of Romania in 2007, in Oradea, in a franchise system. The fast expansion pace started in 2014, though, after the franchise was taken over by JYSK Nordic.
In 2021, JYSK inaugurated 15 new units, exceeding the 100-store mark in Romania.
JYSK Romania reported a turnover of RON793.6 million in 2021 financial year ended on August 31, up 30% on the year, and a pre-tax profit of RON148.8 million, up 82% from the previous year.
JYSK opened its first store in Denmark, in 1979. Globally, JYSK has over 3000 stores across 50 countries, and more than 26,500 employees.
