MR. DIY European retail expansion

Overview

Malaysian retailer MR. DIY is expanding its presence in Europe. In Poland, the company has set an ambitious goal to open at least 1,000 stores, targeting both major metropolitan areas and smaller municipalities with populations between 100,000 and 200,000. The retailer utilizes a dual-format approach, opening locations in both shopping malls and retail parks.

Following its activities in Poland, the company has moved into the Hungarian market. MR. DIY has begun construction and staff recruitment for its first Hungarian location, situated in the KÖKI Shopping Center in Budapest. While the Hungarian subsidiary was registered in the summer of 2025, specific details regarding the official opening date, exact store size, and local pricing strategy remain undisclosed.

The company is also growing its footprint in Romania. MR. DIY has announced plans to open new stores in Timișoara, Brăila, Oradea, and Bacău. To support this expansion, the retailer has initiated recruitment for various roles. Store manager positions in Brăila and Timișoara offer between 5,000 and 6,000 lei net per month, while assistant manager roles in Brăila, Bacău, and Oradea provide between 3,000 and 3,500 lei net. Sales consultants can expect between 2,700 and 3,300 lei net.

As part of its broader European expansion, which includes planned presences in Turkey, Spain, and the Czech Republic, the company continues to scale its operations. Founded in Kuala Lumpur in 2005, MR. DIY has grown to operate between 5,700 and 6,000 stores globally.
