Spain: MR DIY is serious about Spain: 300 stores in sight

Discount Variety Retail Chain MR DIY began as a single hardware store in July 2005 on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, founded by Tan Yu Yeh. It has since grown into the largest home improvement retailer in the region, with over 1,300 stores in Malaysia. And presently listed on the Malaysian and Indonesian stock exchange.

MR DIY shown that when you mix variety, price, and an agile shopping experience, growth is unstoppable.

Global data (June 2025):

• 5,000+ operational stores in 14 countries, including outside of all countries in Southeast Asia and India, it is also active in Spain, Turkey, Poland and South Africa.

• Worldwide we opened more than 1,000 stores in 2023, an average of ~3 new stores per day.

• IPOs in all markets present

When MR. DIY landed in Spain in 2022, many thought it would be "just another store".

The goal is clear:

• 300 stores in Spain

Working on this challenge is to experience a new opening, a new city, a new challenge every week.
