Sonderpreis Baumarkt Joins BHB: A Big Win for DIY Enthusiasts Across Germany

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 23, 2025 – German home improvement lovers have a new reason to celebrate. Sonderpreis Baumarkt, one of the fastest-growing discount hardware store chains in the country, has officially joined the German DIY Retail Association (BHB). This move not only strengthens the network of retail members to 25 but also brings BHB’s market coverage to an impressive 98 percent across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

A Discount Powerhouse Grows Even Stronger

With its headquarters in Neustadt near Coburg, Sonderpreis Baumarkt has grown rapidly since its founding in 2005. The company operates under the umbrella of FISHBULL Franz Fischer SE & Co. KG and has become a go-to destination for home renovators, DIY fans, and hobbyists. Today, it boasts:

  • 355 locations across Germany
  • 4,000 employees
  • A thriving franchise model launched in 2009
  • An average of 15,000 articles available per store

Shoppers especially love the store’s bulk section of screws and small hardware items sold by the kilogram — a favorite for customers who enjoy tailoring their own sets of essential materials.

Smart Expansion with a Community Focus

What makes Sonderpreis Baumarkt particularly appealing is its sustainable and smart expansion model. Instead of building new stores, the company repurposes smaller, existing retail spaces to minimize costs and maximize local accessibility. Nearly half of its current locations are operated through a franchise model, giving local entrepreneurs a chance to grow within an established and supportive framework.

Strengthening the Industry Together

By joining BHB, Sonderpreis Baumarkt is aligning itself with the industry's leading voices. The move is welcomed by the association as a valuable addition to its diverse lineup of retail concepts.

Dr. Peter O. Wüst, Managing Director of BHB, shared his enthusiasm:
“For us as an industry association, it’s important to represent the full range of retail models to politics, authorities, and society. Our member companies actively contribute their strategic approaches to the association's work, strengthening BHB’s expertise and delivering real value for the entire industry.”

Sonderpreis Baumarkt isn’t just showing up — it's here to contribute.

Andreas Scheffel, Managing Director of FISHBULL Franz Fischer SE & Co. KG, emphasized:
“Joining BHB is a meaningful step for us to actively engage with current developments in retail. By working directly with the association and its members, we want to share our experiences and help drive the industry forward.”

What This Means for Shoppers

For consumers, this partnership means even better representation of their interests at the national level and continued improvements in accessibility, pricing, and product selection. Whether you're sprucing up a room, building something new, or just picking up reliable tools, Sonderpreis Baumarkt is making DIY easier, more affordable, and more connected than ever.
