(PRESS RELEASE) FREDERIKSBERG, Denmark, 27-Mar-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Stark Group A/S, one of the largest retailers and distributors of building materials across Northern Europe, is pleased to announce the opening of its second 24/7 branch in Aalborg, Jutland. The new location will provide customers with access to building materials and tools at any time, making it easier for craftsmen to build and meet deadlines.

STARK first introduced the 24/7 concept over eight years ago at one of its branches in Copenhagen, and it has remained open ever since. The success of the first 24/7 branch has led the company to expand the concept to Aalborg.

Craftsmen in Aalborg and the surrounding area can now pick up building materials and tools 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at the STARK branch in Aalborg. The new branch will extend its hours from 6-5 pm on weekdays to operate around the clock, providing increased flexibility and availability for customers.

Søren P. Olesen, CEO of STARK Group says,

“It is about increasing accessibility and service for our customers. One of the most important things for our professional tradespeople is to keep their project moving. By staying open 24/7, we provide flexibility and availability that helps them meet their deadlines.”

Since 2014, the 24/7 concept has been extended to Finland, where STARK Group has opened four 24/7 branches in Finland’s biggest growth areas: Helsinki, Oulu, Tampere and Turku.

The launch of the new 24/7 branch in Aalborg demonstrates STARK’s continued growth and success in the construction industry. The company’s commitment to providing exceptional service, high-quality materials, and innovative solutions has made it a trusted partner for craftsmen across Denmark.
