“Billa Romania will continue to seek new development opportunities this year,” general manager Sorana Georgia said in the statement.
Billa entered the Romanian market in February 1999 with a supermarket in capital Bucharest. The retailer had a turnover of RON1.26 billion (EUR284 million) last year, up 12.3% from 2011, and a net profit of RON3.6 million (EUR820,000), 30% lower on the year.
German group REWE, which operates in retail and tourism and covers 13 countries, also owns Penny Market and XXL Mega Discount stores in Romania.
