The low-price retailer Byggmax opens a store in Enköping in the late spring of 2011. The store will employ five people, and approximately two to three seasonal employees. Byggmax has more than doubled the number of stores in Sweden since 2003. There are currently 53 stores throughout the country. The new store in Enköping will be situated at Skällbygatan 8. Byggmax have previously announced that the chain will open stores in Avesta, Norrtälje, Lidköping, Ängelholm and Bollnäs in spring 2011.

- For a long time we have wanted to establish a location in Enköping, and now we have found a good location for Byggmax, not in the absolute centre, but where a lot of people pass. Our stores in Västerås, Uppsala and Kungsängen  are doing well, so it feels great to be able to open in Enköping. Says Johan Sperling, regional manager at Byggmax.

Skällbygatan in Enköping is a good location, with a large space and the opportunity to establish Byggmax's concept. Overall, a space of approximately 8000 sqm is necessary, where the retail store and the drive-in occupy the most space. Byggmax's concept is based on offering customers quality products at a low prices, where customers can do a part of the job themselves to keep the costs down. Byggmax in Enköping will be the seventh store in Uppland. Byggmax's experience is that people in Uppland are competent DIY-customers and professionals who want quality at a low cost.
