The Body Shop Romania skin and body care retailer posted sales worth 1.2m euros last year, up 10% from 2002. The company’s sales picked up speed in the last months of 2003, also due to the winter holidays. This fall, The Body Shop will open its fifth store on the Romanian market, which will be based in Plaza Romania, the second mall in Bucharest, located in the Militari area, according to Dana Tudorache, the general manager of the company. The investment needed to open the store revolves around several tens of thousands of euros. ZF
