Byggmax has opened a new store on Sørsvannveien 6 in Arendal today. Byggmax has now opened 18 stores in Norway since its first store was established in the country in 2007.

- For a long time we have wanted to establish a store in Arendal, and now we open in a good location for Byggmax, not in the absolute centre, but where a lot of people pass by. Our store in Kristiansand has been well received, so it feels great to be able to open in Arendal, says Espen Nicolaisen, regional manager in Norway.

Sørsvannveien is a good location, with a large space and the opportunity to establish Byggmax's concept. Overall, a retail space of approximately 8000 sqm is necessary, where the retail store and the drive-in occupy the most space.
