The company’s 2021 turnover neared RON123.4 million (EUR25 million), 26.5% higher than in 2020.
For the current year, Benvenuti has budgeted turnover worth RON120-130 million. The company last year switched back to profit, generating a net gain of RON5.4 million (EUR1.1 million).
“The first three months of 2022 were relatively weak, compared with the year-earlier period, but, once all restrictions were lifted sales grew significantly. The main problem we’re coping with is related to the increase of all prices,” Adrian Cazu, development & retail manager at Benvenuti, told ZF Transilvania.
For 2023, the company plans to invest in 3-4 new stores. Benvenuti now has 370 employees and intends to recruit another around 30 persons by yearend.
