In 1998 the chain entered the Bulgarian market, when Panda Cooperation received a master franchise for the territory of Bulgaria. The first bulgarian Office 1 Superstore has been opened in June 1998 in Sofia. Gradually, the successful management and good performance of the Bulgarian unit cause Office 1 Superstore Bulgaria to play an increasingly crucial role in the management and development of the international chain.
