Bauhaus Switzerland opens store in Pfungen

Following the location in Losone, where the DIY International editorial team was present at the opening, Bauhaus is now taking over a second former Migros Do it + Garden store in Switzerland, this time in Pfungen in the canton of Zurich.

The new store offers DIY enthusiasts and professionals a compact range of products across a sales area of around 3,000 m². This makes the new specialist centre in Pfungen the second Bauhaus location in Switzerland to follow a small-space concept. The offering is complemented by a 750 m² urban garden and 70 parking spaces.

Since opening its first store in Switzerland in 2006, Bauhaus now has seven locations in six cantons. Bauhaus sees the new location as a central component of its national and European expansion strategy.

"We are delighted to now be able to offer our customers in the canton of Zurich our well-thought-out small-space concept with a high-quality product range, expert advice and innovative services," explains Dr. Christoph Theler, CEO of Bauhaus Switzerland.

The new site was taken over from the Do it + Garden sales division of the Migros Group after it announced its intention to focus on its core supermarket business.
