Kaufland invests an average of EUR7-10 million in a new hypermarket, including the land purchase.
By March, the retailer plans to open two new stores in Bucharest and Buzau, followed by ten new stores next year.
The hypermarket chain entered Romania in 2005 and has since expanded year by year, by opening three hypermarkets in its first year and 13 to 14 annually in its best years.
