The Dél-100 Kft. story started between 1995 and 1997, when one of the owners, István Dobi started the enterprise with classics marketplace selling.
Expansion and nationwide presence
As a result of the progress of retail and the development of consumer expectations, the owners launched the GoodsMarket store chain in 2008, and the PlusMarket store network in 2013. István Dobi told that the latter has its own loyalty scheme now, and loyalty card holders will benefit from a large number of special offers in the future. The owners are reinvesting as much of the profit in the chain as possible. Plans include opening stores in other regions of the country, and increasing the number of PlusMarket stores to minimum 100. The long-term plan is running a nationwide store network, but it can’t be told at the moment when this will become reality.
