The German group METRO, which owns a network of 30 cash&carry stores in Romania, will open 3 more stores of this type in our country.
“In most countries, this format is dying. On the other hand, in Romania, interestingly, there is enough demand and potential for this format that we can develop it until it reaches its maximum potential. And this means that we are expanding the surfaces in the stores to create delivery areas because there is a demand for delivery, and this segment has double-digit growth. Likewise, we have a very good growth in volumes in cash&Carry stores. That is why we are investing in expanding the stores. This year we are investing in expanding the delivery area in the Ștefănești warehouse and we plan to open three new stores in the cash and carry format. In the next three years, we will have investments in expanding the stores and opening new stores”, said Karan Khurana, CEO of METRO Romania.
The company has already identified three cities for the new locations, noting that Bucharest is not among them, the market here being saturated in the cash&Carry segment.
