Baumax en route to Turkey

Baumax is en route to Turkey. The Austrian DIY retail group made an announcement to this effect yesterday. This is expected to be the company's eighth foreign market, following its entry into the Bulgarian market, which is planned for 2008. Entry into the Turkish market is being planned for the years 2009-2010. It is not yet known where the first trial outlet will be established, though it will most probably be in one of the bigger cities (Istanbul, Ankara or Izmir).
