The store, which covers a total retail area of 230 square meters, sells 4,500 products.

OMV Petrom, the largest oil and gas producer in Southeastern Europe, and Auchan Retail Romania, the local division of Auchan Retail, the world’s 11th largest food trader, have recently signed a partnership contract for the opening of proximity stores under MyAuchan brand in Petrom filling stations.

This pilot-stage will be useful to the two partners for adapting the services and supply in view of a potential extension of the project on a large scale.

A total 15 MyAuchan stores are expected to be inaugurated by the end of 2017, within Petrom filling stations in capital Bucharest and countywide.
