Unitrade Group Holding continues developing the City.com, Unitrade and melofon retail networks. A total of four new outlets were opened and two were fully restyled in September.
The opening of the City.com hypermarket in Odessa, the network’s second regional location, took place last month. The new City.com in Odessa was opened on Derevyanko square, 1, occupying the ground floor of the Panorama trade center. The shopping space of this new store is about 1,500 sq. m. Its special highlights are the free service settings area for appliances bought at City.com, new trade equipment with open access demonstration options and the renewed interior design of the store.
The Unitrade network opened one of the biggest stores in September. The new network location in Zhytomyr occupies two floors and its shopping space exceeding 400 sq. m. One more Unitrade shopping location is scheduled to open on October 6, in the Duffy trade and entertainment center in Kharkiv.
The melofon network continues to open new mobile island outlets, specially designed for large shopping malls, such as trade centers and trade and entertainment centers. This retail format is completely innovative for the melofon network. Such a new outlet was opened on September 25 in the Equator trade and entertainment center in Rivne. A new melofon outlet in Kyiv, located at Boryspilska St., 9, is to be opened shortly.
A new City.com modern electronic appliances hypermarket, the second network location in Dnipropetrovsk, was officially opened after restyling in the Novy Kontinent trade center, Naberezhnaya Pobedy, 86-a. A designated free service settings area for appliances bought in City.com has appeared, as well as a promotion area with a promotional offer countdown period, and the shopping area of the SamoBit household appliances department has doubled. In addition, the Unitrade store in Dnipropetrovsk reopened on October 1. As a result of restyling, its shopping area has expanded to 300 sq. m.
“We continue developing our retail networks according to the holding’s current opening strategy,” said Volodymyr Kolodiuk, the President of Unitrade Group Holding. “In 2008, we will fulfil our trade network development plans."
