Flanco expands smart discounter network with three new stores

Business Forum
Romanian retailer Flanco expanded its Smart Discounter network in April by opening two new stores and revamping a third, bringing the total number of projects under this brand to 22.

The new stores are located in Iași (at Mall Moldova), Tulcea (at Winmarkt), and Târgoviște (Muntenia complex), with the latter being a revamped location.

The three new locations add approximately 2,000 sqm of retail space to Flanco's network. 

"Our expansion strategy prioritizes high-traffic shopping centers with large areas, where we can offer customers a comprehensive and accessible shopping experience – from cutting-edge technology and smart deals to various payment options and 'Rabla' type programs for significant additional discounts," says Ovidiu Nicușan, Marketing Director at Flanco.

With these openings, Flanco's Smart Discounter concept is now present in 17 cities across Romania.
