About 500 grocery stores around Romania have taken up the La Doi Pasi franchise since its launch in March. The franchise, owned the German retailer Metro Cash & Carry, targets small independent retailers.
Retailers receive training and consultancy services from Metro and are able to maintain their financial and operational independence while being part of a national network of stores at the same time, said Marc Carena, client management director at Metro Cash & Carry Romania.
Metro Cash & Carry Romania runs 32 stores in its regional network, the first of which opened in 1996.
