Byco opened its first retail store in Denmark in 1938. 75 years later,
the company is a reputable retailer with more than 8,000 stores in
Europe, Scandinavia and the U.S. During the past 20 years, Byco’s
strategy has been to provide products that are anywhere from 10% to 25%
cheaper than its competitors with no compromise in quality.
Employees at Byco undergo extensive employee training on a continuing
basis which enables most employees to be very knowledgeable about all
departments and all aspects of store operations. Wages are
significantly higher and turnover is significantly less than the

Byco has established win-win relationships with its suppliers. The
company continuously improves its product offering by hiring highly paid
