The new store will give the residents of Sesvete access to around 6,000 products across 14 categories, including laundry, personal care and cleaning products, among others.
The outlet in Sesvete, spanning over 822 square metres, operates on all days of the week from 09:00 to 21:00 hours and is managed by a team of 18 people.
