The new unit is Kaufland’s 1500th store in Europe and has a sales space of approximately 3,400 sqm. It created 100 new jobs, the company said.
Opened in Bucharest’s District 3, Kaufland Basarabia is equipped with modern solutions and technologies that ensure high energy efficiency standards. For example, solar panels installed on an area of over 550 sqm supply the store with electricity, following an investment of EUR100,000.
The new hypermarket also has an ecological green roof of over 1500 sqm consisting of a mix of weather resistant plants. It also has a car park with a capacity of 270 parking spots, charging stations for electric cars and bicycle racks.
Kaufland opened its first store in Germany in 1968 and is currently present in eight European countries.
