The number of new stores is almost the same as in other months, but lower than in October, when the retailer opened 28 stores. The network continues expansion despite the COVID-19 pandemic and is headed towards 1,400 stores in more than 500 large and small towns in Romania.
It has opened almost 200 new stores since the beginning of the year. Last year it opened 260, ending 2019 with 1,184 stores.
Out of the new stores opened in November 11 are City stores (the smaller format for urban areas), five are Standard (standard format for urban areas) and Loco (a brand for rural areas).
