One quarter from the DIY store

The DIY store plus garden centre in the Marktkauf shopping centre operated by the German AVA group in Moscow has so far generated about a quarter of the retail park’s sales. In his estimate of developments here, Hermann Spielberger, managing director of Marktkauf Rus, believes that this share will probably increase with the beginning of spring. AVA is adhering to its goal of achieving combined sales of at least € 50 mio through the hypermarket and the DIY superstore in the year 2003.
