First off the mark was Praktiker, opening a few months earlier.  But now another DIY superstore has opened, on the Tirana-Durres Highway at the turnoff to the International Airport.

94% Albanian-owned “Megatek” has launched their first Albanian store, due to the huge demand from local Albanians, who are starting to embrace home DIY and renovation.

This will be a major boost for Albanian homeowners, who currently have strong limitations to access mortgage financing in the country, due to the impact of the global economic crisis.  Easier access to stores like these and the products they offer, means they can improve their existing residence, rather than upgrade to a new one.

Please see the current images of the new superstore:
