Selgros, a grocery wholesaler, entered the local Volgograd market by opening a cash and carry hypermarket in Marshala Yeremenko Street on 6 March 2014. The outlet offers a range of more than 40,000 food and non-food SKUs and operates on a trading space of 8,500 m2. The amount invested in the project was RUB 1bn (€19.8m).
In addition to the new store in Volgograd, there are seven Selgros hypermarkets in Russia: in Altufyevo, Kotelniki, Vnukovo and Biryulevo (all four are Moscow’s districts) and in Rostov-on-Don, Kazan and Ryazan.
