Turkish fashion retailer Koton opened last week its first store in northeastern Romania, in the Iulius Mall shopping center in Iasi.

The  store stretches over 1,800 sqm and is located on the first floor.

Koton will also open this spring a store in Timisoara, western Romania, in another Iulius Group shopping center, stretching over 1,200 sqm.

Iulius Mall Iasi and Timisoara, both owned by Iulius Group, are part of a network of four shopping centers under the brand Iulius, with additional units in Cluj and Suceava. Romanian investor Iulian Dascalu owns the group.

In February this year, Koton announced that it would invest over EUR 0.5 million in its largest store on the Romanian market, in the Baneasa Mall shopping center.
