Located in Bolintin-Vale, Giurgiu county, the store is currently the largest of its kind.
“This is the 12th MEGA store in our chain and in 2022 we expect each of these units will exceed EUR1 million in sales. Previous experience showed it takes five to six months to start making profit,” said Horia Cardos, founder and CEO.
The company estimates it will open at least six more Agroland MEGA stores by the end of this year.
The Agroland MEGA concept was launched in 2017 and the stores specialize in gardening, pet care and hobby farming. The store areas are 300% bigger than traditional Agroland stores.
Cardos founded Agroland in 1997 in Timisoara. The company has over 250 stores in 29 counties.
The group’s sales topped EUR38 million in 2020.
