Major interior design chain to expand in Hungary

JYSK retail chain continues to expand in Hungary, opening two new stores at the end of August. The new stores are in Solymár and Mór. In the 2022/2023 financial year, JYSK has already opened one new store and will open two more by the end of 2023.

JYSK continues to open new stores. The Danish company has already opened a 900-square-metre unit in Nagyatád in the financial year 2022/2023 which ends in late August this year. On 30 August, two more stores opened in the Budapest agglomeration, in Solymár and Mór, the company said in a statement.

Each of the new stores will have a floor area of over 900 square metres and will feature 3 showrooms to help shoppers navigate their way around the furniture. There will also be a mattress studio where customers can not only get advice but also try out products in a homely environment, Pénzcentrum writes.

“We see that with the upturn in online shopping, there is still a strong demand for physical stores, especially for furniture and mattresses. We have 94 stores nationwide, and with these two new units, we have further strengthened our presence in the agglomeration and Fejér county. And by the end of this year, two more new JYSK stores will open, one in the capital and one in the countryside,”

said Sándor Szimeiszter, JYSK’s country director for Hungary, Austria and Greece.

Renovations also ongoing

In addition to the opening of new stores, JYSK is also continuously rebuilding its existing stores according to the 3.0 concept. This means that by the end of 2024, all of the company’s stores worldwide, more than 3,300 units, will be renewed. In Hungary, a total of 67 stores will be operating according to the new concept by the end of August 2023. The project’s 2000th remodeled store was reopened in Gödöllő, Hungary on 21 June.

During the works, special attention was paid to energy efficiency, for example by replacing light bulbs with LEDs and installing motion detectors in the social rooms. As part of the new concept, the lighting in the stores can be switched on in 3 phases, allowing for a great shopping experience with less light, while reducing the energy consumption of the lighting in the stores by at least 25 percent.
