The retailer plans to reach a network of over 660 stores by the end of the year. In 2017, it opened 69 new units.
“This year we want to open more stores than last year,” said company CEO Vassilis Stavrou. He added the company will employ 1,000 to 1,500 more people by the end of the year. Mega Image had over 10,000 employees in 2017.
In 2017, Mega Image opened its first stores in Cluj-Napoca and this year it plans to expand to Timisoara, western Romania.
“After Bucharest, we see Cluj-Napoca and its surrounding areas as good spots for development. In 2018 we will open our first store in Timisoara,” said Stavrou.
