The retailer will be the first in Romania to have a warehouse in that area.
“In 2019 we’ll continue expansion by 20 to 25 stores using the Future Store concept and will also start preparations for the fourth logistics warehouse, set to open in Oltenia in the next two or three years,” says Daniel Gross, managing director of Rewe Romania, the operator of the Penny Market store chain.
The German-held discount chain has three warehouses of its own in Romania in which ZF estimates it invested more than EUR60 million and is getting ready for the fourth logistics center. As for the store network, the plan is to grow to 400 stores by 2025. The retailer operates more than 230 stores in Romania, 15 of which opened in 2018.
