Discount chain grows in strength. New stores, larger warehouse

The Malaysian discount store chain MR.DIY is dynamically expanding its presence on the Polish market, opening new stores and expanding its logistics center at the Hillwood Zgierz park.

MR.DIY is a Malaysian retail chain that has been offering a wide range of home, garden, toy, school and office supplies, pet products, and automotive accessories since 2005. It currently has over 5,000 stores in 14 countries, including Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, India, Turkey, Spain, South Africa, and Poland. Poland became the 13th market for MR.DIY and the third in Europe, after Spain and Turkey.

The company has decided to expand for the second time and has signed a lease agreement for nearly 15,000 sqm. The total area leased by MR.DIY at the Hillwood Zgierz park exceeds 27,000 sqm.

The company's debut in the Central and Eastern Europe region last year proved to be a success. The opening of a 5,000 sqm logistics center at Hillwood Zgierz was the first step in the company's development strategy in this region.

At the beginning of this year, in response to growing operational needs, the MR.DIY chain expanded its logistics center by an additional 7,106 sqm of warehouse and office space.

The MR.DIY chain is successfully building its position in the non-food discount segment, which is reflected in its further expansion at the Hillwood Zgierz park and the decision to lease an additional 15,000 sqm of space at this location – says Łukasz Dobrowolski, Country Head at MR.DIY Poland. 

- We are pleased that Poland will play such an important role in the development of the MR.DIY brand in Europe. I am convinced that thanks to the commitment of the Polish team and cooperating business partners, the process of MR.DIY's expansion on the European market will proceed smoothly and will allow us to consistently implement our strategy of providing customers with a wide range of products at always attractive prices - he adds.

It is a great satisfaction for us to observe how MR.DIY is not only dynamically developing its retail chain in Poland but also consistently expanding its logistics center right here at the Hillwood Zgierz park. The fact that after the first successful stage of the investment, the company decided on another significant expansion of nearly 15,000 sqm, testifies to the trust in our location and the flexibility of the solutions offered. Hillwood Zgierz, thanks to its excellent connection to the A2 motorway and its strong position in central Poland, is becoming a key logistics hub for the MR.DIY chain, which focuses on efficiency and rapid development on the European market - says Wojciech Dachniewski, Business Development Director at Hillwood Polska.
