French hypermarket chain plans to open its first store outside of Kyiv, in northern Odesa’s Riviera Shopping Mall. “There are massive buildings around the Riviera shopping center, there are more than 60 residential complexes, therefore the demand for the products of the building hypermarket is high,” Yan Shkuro, Riviera’s marketing director, tells Interfax-Ukraine. The 10,500 square meter home improvement and gardening store will open in the spring. The French chain already has four ‘do it yourself’ stores in Kyiv.
