Launch in Croatia

The first Croatian Obi store opened on 9 May 2007 in Slavonski Brod. The store boasts a retail area of just under 8 000 m2, over half (4 200 m2) of which is devoted to gardening. To enable customers to find their way around the new store quickly, the company has applied a system that divides the range into seven different colour categories.
See the forthcoming 7-8/07 issue of DIY in Europe for a detailed report on the first Obi store in Croatia.
