The opening of the new Kaufland store has created 85 jobs.
The new unit in Calarasi is built on a total area of almost 5,000 square meters, with a sales area of over 2.700 sqm. The retailer opened 13 stores last year, maintaining the pace set in 2022. This is one of the fastest expansion paces since the company entered Romania in 2005. Moreover, Kaufland officials say development will continue. Kaufland Romania ended 2023 with RON18.35 billion turnover, up 14.3% from 2022. The advance was partially supported by inflation, but also by expansion. The German retailer has invested RON1.35 billion (EUR275 million) in Romania in 2023, relatively similar with the level announced for each of the last years. The company is among the largest retail players in Europa, with 1,550 stores across eight countries, more than 155,000 employees and a network of 187 units in Romania.
