Expansion into Russia

The German Sagaflor specialist retail cooperative now has its first partnership operation in Russia. The 2 400 m² garden centre was opened in Stavropol in the North Caucasus. It is called Planeta Leta, which means Planet Summer. Proprietor Pawel Malinsky already has a wholesale plant and horticultural supplies business, and operates a tree nursery as well. The Sagaflor system’s central office has been accompanying the project since it started in 2007. A second and larger outlet is already being planned in Krasnodor, around 350 km to the west of Stavropol.
