(PRESS RELEASE) FREDERIKSBERG, 30-Jun-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Jewson, the UK arm of STARK Group, has unveiled its state-of-the-art “branch of the future” in Croydon, south London. Drawing on STARK’s proven Nordic, German, and Austrian branch concepts, this purpose-built facility prioritizes efficiency and customer experience with an expanded SKU range and an intuitive layout that helps tradespeople locate products and check availability with ease.

This investment reinforces STARK Group’s commitment to strengthening its UK footprint through bespoke branches, regional distribution hubs, and targeted refurbishments.
