The Craiova store is due to open on October 30, and the one in Arad is scheduled to open in November.
The retailer has recently invested EUR6.4 million in the Pitesti hypermarket, which opened just over a month ago. And earlier this year, the La Cocos brand arrived in Brasov.
The store in Craiova, which will be located in the space where the PIC hypermarket previously operated, will take up 11,000 square meters, while in Arad the surface area will be 9,500 square meters. The space has previously accommodated a Remarkt store (a brand used after Germany’s Real withdrew from the market).
La Cocos is thus stepping up expansion and will end the year with seven stores from three at the beginning of 2025.
La Cocos is the most powerful entrepreneurial business in Romania’s grocery retail.
