Auchan will definitely be popular with customers, especially at the beginning, claims Alexei Podolyako

‘There is no doubt that this hypermarket is going to be popular with customers, especially at the beginning. Yet whether they will come back afterwards remains to be seen, given in particular the store’s whereabouts. Auchan isn’t located downtown, so it’s questionable whether the residents of Yekaterinburg will be visiting the place on regular basis,’ said Chairman of Alliance Independent Partnership Alexei Podolyako.
