The two new units are located in the town of Ianca (Braila County), and in the town of Campulung (Arges County).
“The Agroland MEGA concept was created to meet the increasing customer demand, both in terms of volume and diversification of the product range, with stores close to them. MEGA stores meet the needs of traditional customers, such as small farmers, but also those of a new segment of customers who are hobby farmers and pet owner. The franchise partners made investments of almost EUR500,000 in the two Agroland MEGA stores, confirming their trust in our business model (…),” stated Horia Cardos, founder and CEO of Agroland Business System.
The new Agroland MEGA Ianca store is the second MEGA unit in Braila County and entailed an investment of EUR400,000, which included the land, construction works and fittings, excluding the stock of goods. It covers an area of approximately 420 square meters and sells more than 3,000 products. Agroland’s management expects the new store to generate sales of over EUR800,000 in 2024 and an average daily traffic of around 200 people.
