By opening the unit in Brasov, the German retailer reaches a total 114 stores in Romania.
„By opening the new store, Kaufland, one of the largest employers in Romania, creates some 100 new jobs in Brasov and upholds the development of the local community,” Kaufland said in a statement.
The new Kaufland hypermarket will be inaugurated on April 8, 2017.
Kaufland, which officially reported more than 17,700 employees at the end of 2016, remained the largest employer in 2016 too, according to data registered by Revisal, the software used by the Labor Inspection to keep track of employees. Kaufland has kept its top spot ever since 2014, when it outranked oil and gas company OMV Petrom.
