The retail area of 13 100 m² consists of an indoor space of 7 700 m² and an outdoor area of 5 400 m², of which 2 500 m² is covered. The location is part of the greater Moscow area, which already boasts another K-rauta store, this one in Jaroslavl. The group also operates nine more stores in the St Petersburg region. The next opening is scheduled for early April in Kaluga, south-west of Moscow.
