Kaufland opened its first small-store format on the Romanian market in the city of Gherla. The store covers 2,000 sqm. All other Kaufland stores in Romania range between 2,500 sqm and 5,500 sqm. The German retail is testing out its small-store format in an effort to reduce investment costs. Opening a large Kaufland store costs up to €10m, including the price of the land.
