Azbuka Vkusa – a premium-class retail chain, operating 44 supermarkets in Moscow and Moscow Region, is planning to open a supermarket in St. Petersburg. The company is also considering other directions: Kiev and Yekaterinburg. However, the final decision will be made in March 2012.
The chain is looking for retail premises from 800 to 1,500 sq m for premium-class food store, which are quite hard to find in the city center, as the competition among food retailers is growing and St. Petersburg can’t boast the same number of premium segment customers as Moscow, as per experts.
