New addition in St Petersburg

The Finnish builders' merchant and DIY group Rautakesko inaugurated its ninth outlet in St Petersburg on 29 November 2008. The overall sales area of the store, which is located in the Krasnoselskiy district, amounts to 16 500 m², with 8 000 m² of the total taken up by the outdoor building materials yard. In early 2009 the company intends to open a store outside St Petersburg for the first time. It will be located in Jaroslavl, around 100 km north-east of Moscow.
