Last week the German grocery retailer the REWE Group has opened its 68th Billa supermarket in Moscow, on Shchelkovskoye motorway. The new store has a trading area of 500 m2 and offers more than 5,000 SKUs. The outlet has thus become the 91st Billa supermarket in Russia overall. This was the first establishment launched by the company in 2013. The next will be designed to strengthen the company’s presence in the city.
As Retail Update Russia reported in March this year, Billa announced 10-15 new stores in Russia in 2013. Last year, the chain’s Russian division reported sales worth €640m ($825m).
