Mega Image speeds up opening pace in Romania: a shop a day in next two weeks, after one every three days during the year

Retailer Mega Image plans to open more than a shop a day on average in Romania in the remaining 14 days of the year. The retailer wants to add 16 new shops to its existing chain of 296 stores by the end of 2013. This year, the retailer added 104 shops in Romania, an opening pace of one store every three days and a half. In the remaining part of the year, Mega Image will sometimes open three, and even five shops on some days. For example, it plans to open three Shop&Go units on December 18, in Azuga, Bucharest and Chiajna, near Bucharest. The next day, another store opening is scheduled for Bucharest, and on December 20, five new shops will open, four of which under the Mega Image brand, and one Shop&Go. Most of the new openings are in Bucharest. The retailer runs shops under the brands Mega Image, Shop & Go and AB Cool Food. Mega Image has been the retailer with the fastest expansion in the last two years across Romania. editor@romania-insider.com
