The store has a surface of around 17,000 square meters and nearly 150 employees.

Last week, Leroy Merlin opened a store in the Sun Plaza shopping center in southern Bucharest, remodeling the former bauMax store, after buying the network in 2014.

Leroy Merlin has two stores in Bucharest (in Sun Plaza and Colosseum shopping centers) and another three in Craiova (Electroputere Mall), Blejoi, and Bragadiru.

Leroy Merlin is part of French group Adeo and has 370 stores in 12 countries. Austria’s bauMax announced in July 2014 it had reached an agreement with Adeo to sell its 15 Romanian stores.
