Retailer Cora will open three new hypermarkets in Romania next year, in Bucharest, Bacau and Slobozia. The retailer opened this week its eighth hypermarket in the country, within Galleria Arad, a shopping center developed by GTC. The store covers 4,500 sqm and needed an investment of EUR 5 million. Three other hypermarket openings will follow in 2012. The one in Bucharest will be located on Soseaua Alexandriei, in the south of the capital city.

Cora will continue the partnership with retailer GTC and will open a store in Galleria Galati, a shopping center which could be started next year and which will need a budget of around EUR 70 million.
