Located in Salmabad, the state-of-the-art retail complex also registered impressive sales within the same period, and given the excellent response, Danube officials revealed the Bahrain-based Buildmart is eyeing a 100 per cent sales increase by the end of the year.
Set-up to cater to a diverse target audience including interior designers, consultants and homeowners in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, the 300,000sq/ft retail complex features products installed in an actual home set-up to allow customers to have a more convenient way to shop.
Incorporating a 50,000sq/ft covered warehouse and a 25,000sq/ft showroom, the retail complex offers a wide range of products, which are classified under 20 sections. It also has a 'Design Centre', where customers can get expert advice on the best products and other design-related inquires.
Danube Building Materials chairman Rizwan Sajan said: "The strategic steps we have taken to address the increased demand for top quality building materials across Bahrain backs up our high growth expectations for Buildmart for the year ahead."
The success of Buildmart in Bahrain is driven by the continuous growth in the number of homeowners in the country, given its more accommodating freehold laws and the increasing incidence of younger individuals seeking a residence of their own.
Danube also reported that the most in-demand products in Bahrain are chandeliers, light fittings, wallpapers, ceramic floor and wall tiles. In anticipation of further growth, the company is planning to add more products to its offering.
