Bauhaus Alfafar in Valencia resumes operations

After the flood disaster in October 2024, Bauhaus is reopening its Alfafar location in Valencia on the Costa del Azahar to customers. The damage to and in the building caused by the great flood has been repaired. In addition, the Bauhaus relief fund of around 300,000 euros provided quick and unbureaucratic support to 60 employees who were directly affected by the catastrophic flooding. In October 2024, the region of Valencia in the south-east of Spain was hit by devastating floods, which, as a result of the DANA weather phenomenon, are considered to be one of the worst natural disasters in the country's recent history.

Work on reopening began as early as November 2024. First of all, all the shelving had to be dismantled, stored temporarily where possible, and cleaned or replaced. This was followed by the construction of the new shelving and furniture from December, and the installation of the entire range from January 2025. On 21 February, the reopening was celebrated with around 1,500 residents, volunteers and experts over a paella and fireworks.

Bauhaus Alfafar is also launching innovations. These include new exhibitions that allow details to be visualised and planned even better, according to the company. In addition, the range of building materials has been expanded to offer both professionals and private individuals complete solutions.

The store first opened its doors in March 2017. It has a sales area of more than 13,400 m², including 3,000 m² for the gardening department.
