Office 1 Superstore Bulgaria
In 1998 the chain entered the Bulgarian market, when Panda Cooperation received a master franchise for the territory of Bulgaria. The first bulgarian Office 1 Superstore has been opened in June 1998 in Sofia. Gradually, the successful management and good performance of the Bulgarian unit cause Office 1 Superstore Bulgaria to play an increasingly crucial role in the management and development of the international chain.
Nowadays Office 1 Superstore is the largest chain of stores for office supplies in Bulgaria with an extensive network of sub-franchisees and own stores. For 20 years the company has been the undisputed market leader and a preferred partner of more than 90 000 business clients.
