Furniture retailer JYSK has entered two new countries with store openings in Tajikistan and Moldova.

Frederik Kroun, franchise director at JYSK, said: “There is nothing in Tajikistan which resembles JYSK. This is the main reason why we believe, that there is a good market for our stores in the country. Many customers attended on the opening day, so that is promising for the future.”
