The first Homemate location, in Mrieħel, opened its doors in 1998. Built on a total surface area of 4000m2, the outlet is split on two floors. In a relatively short time, this mega store -  by local standards at the time – became a household name and remains undisputed market leader in its area of activity.

Over the last two years the company expanded its footprint with four other outlets strategically located on the island bringing the total retail area to 12,000 sq metres across the island.

Over the past 25 years, Homemate has developed into Malta’s foremost Home Improvement Centre and DIY store with its main strengths being:
