He is going to open a multi-brand kids’ clothes store, a universal store and a wine one.
The entrepreneur says the group he runs has a diversified activity, with this being a good way of operating a sustainable, crisis-proof business.
The universal store will be called Le Manoir Fine Market and have a total space of around 400 square meters. The second project will be a wine store in partnership with Eurocave, an international wine cooler producer. The third investment project of 2023 will be a kids’ store including all premium fashion brands.
Two of the projects, the universal store and the wine one, will be located in northern Bucharest.
Cristian Preotu says Le Manoir group’s customer base will reach around 20,000 persons.
The entrepreneur does not plan to develop the business in other cities of Romania, but wants to take Le Manoir stores to other European capital cities. Le Manoir has already been present for several years in Paris.
Despite expectations regarding macroeconomic problems in 2023, the entrepreneur is upbeat and expects to overcome market challenges.
