Univers’all Company is planning to open three new supermarkets this year, following an investment worth approximately 15 million euros, general manager Octavian Baltac said. “The market survey conducted in order to find a suitable location for the future supermarkets was completed and we are now to choose the cities,” Baltac said, adding it usually takes five months to build a store. Each supermarket takes up 2,500 sqm in addition to more than 200 parking spots, access roads and sidewalks totalling 5,500 sqm. The supermarkets will consist of a shopping gallery, a banking office, a drugstore and a coffee shop, as well as a 500 sq. m warehouse. Univers’all last year opened three supermarkets in Sibiu, Suceava and Targu Mures, following a 15 million-euro investment. Univers’all is part of the GFS Romania Group. The group posted $35 million turnover in 2001, with net profit amounting to $3.5 million. Mediafax
