Second Mega Image in Constanta

The supermarket network Mega Image will open its second store in Constanta this summer, its 18th in the network. “The store will start operating this year and will be located near the Tomis Mall retail centre,” say company officials. The new store will be the second Mega Image opened in Constanta, with a total surface area of some 1,350 square metres, with the retail space to cover some 750 square metres. Mega Image currently owns a network of 17 stores, 14 of which are located in Bucharest, one in Ploiesti, one in Constanta and one in Pipera. Mega Image, whose developers were Greek, was one of the first supermarket networks, which appeared on the local market. The Belgian group Delhaize first bought 51% of the shares and later increased its stake to 70%, ultimately taking over the whole Mega Image network at the end of June 2004. The supermarket network estimates to have reached sales worth 65 million euros last year. ZF
