Germany’s Metro Cash & Carry, the self-service wholesaler, plans to open 15 to 20 ‘small’ stores across Ukraine in coming years, their country CEO, Olivier Langlet, tells Interfax-Ukraine. “It’s better to open more than 20 stores in the regions than one big one,’ Langlet said, referring to stores in the 1.5-2,000 square meter size that cost EUR 150-300,000 to open. In Ukraine for 15 years, Metro has 27 stores, largely hypermarkets, with the exception of two of the new, smaller stores, in Lutsk and Ternopil.
