Our story

High rent and tight space in the city centre meant that there was a need to move. The store has settled in a broader area around the city centre in Oravska street under the new moniker GBM Europe. There was a 250 m² area formerly occupied by a grocery store with a small 20 m² storage space. 3 employees were working shifts in the store, where they, besides serving the customers in retail, dealt with phone and e-mail orders from the wholesale. Right after they closed the door behind the last customer, they spilled water on the floor in order to evaporate and keep the optimal moisture for the guitars and other string instruments. And the duty wasn't over. They loaded 2 Skoda Octavia cars with the goods for the wholesale clients and rushed to the train station to send an express package via state mail service to the wholesale customers around Slovakia

The company is leaving the conventional idea that a musical instruments shop must operate as a separate space behind and, as first in Europe, launches a revolutionary concept of selling musical instruments in the shopping centre. The store is renamed to Music Planet and moved to the newly opened Aupark, the biggest shopping centre in the developing Bratislava region at the time. Looking behind those 20 years, this step proved to be in a right direction despite higher maintenance cost and the company later situates their other stores in the shopping centres in different cities.

        

Our warehouse's capacity cannot satisfy the demand of the internet shop anymore. Therefore we decided to launch first version of complex logistics centre in the industrial area in Lozorno with connection to international highway. The logistics centre with the 950 m² capacity enables regular haul of the goods and speedy delivery by couriers to the customer. In the following years, our warehouse has expanded many times to accomodate the dynamically growing eshop and supplying our physical stores.

The store with musical instruments is moving from Aupark Shopping Center just across the street – to more spacious and appealing store at the nearby Digital Park.

Because of the closed operations in our brick-and-mortar stores due to the COVID restrictions, we utilize them as collection points for customers who have made purchase on our eshops.
