Experts made a forecast about a boost in development of supermarket network Magnit in Siberia. This forecast is based on a launch of a new distribution warehousing center with a total square of 20 000 m2 in Novosibirsk. In future it will help “Magnit” to increase profit and a number of salepoints in Siberia.
The positive reaction of investors is explained by new logistics capacity. It will help the company to extend its presence in Siberia and to accelerate the pace of development of the supermarket network itself. This will positively influence the dynamics of the company’s profit growth.
It is to be recalled that in the end of 2013 Magnit owned only one distribution warehousing center in Siberia – in Omsk Region. It is expected that Magnit is going to start an active expansion in Siberia after creating the necessary logistic structure in Novosibirsk Region.
According to the Magnit’s plan of expansion, 1500 new salepoints will be opened in 2014, which is more than in 2013 by 291 salepoints.
