Mega Image opens 15th supermarket

Mega Image, the company held by Belgian distribution group Louis Delhaize, last week opened its 15th supermarket, in Bucharest, under an investment estimated at 1.4 million euros. “We have dedicated three stores this year, with a fourth unit scheduled by yearend,” company sources said. Mega Image opened its first two supermarkets outside Bucharest this spring, in Ploiesti and Constanta, after having invested more than two million euros. The supermarket dedicated last week spreads on 1,600 square metres. The Mega Image stores posted sales worth $35 million in 2002, up 10% since the previous year. ZF
