Lagerhaus moves from the country to the city and opens in Vienna

Even the Austrian DIY store group Lagerhaus is now moving into the city, with two stores opening in Vienna yesterday, 2 June. The two pilot stores in the ninth and eleventh district have retail areas of 372 m² and 589 m². The range and marketing model are geared to the urban environment, according to a press release by the parent company, RWA Raiffeisen Ware Austria.
Unlike the rural population, city dwellers don't have an extensive range of DIY tools in their own four walls, and so Lagerhaus in Vienna will offer complimentary equipment loans above a certain spend value. In a further expansion stage, the two new Lagerhaus stores will also offer customers services such as painting, tiling and drywall construction.
