Praktiker, a German DIY retail group, will soon be opening its 25th Polish store in Lublin. The outlet will have a retail area of some 8 000 m² including a garden centre. The company also has plans for further openings abroad. These include another one for Poland: by next autumn a DIY store plus garden centre with an overall retail area of some 8 000 m² is to be launched in Bialystok. A new opening in Greece is also on the agenda. The store of around 4 000 m² will be in Maistros and also have a small garden centre.
