France's Carrefour, one of the leading retailers in the world, will open its first shop in Serbia in 2015 inside the Delta Planet shopping mall in the capital Belgrade, Serbia's Delta Real Estate said in a statement last week. The Serb company said it has signed a leasing contract with Carrefour for a 10,000 square metres location with the future mall, which will also open doors in 2015. Delta Real Estate said this is only the beginning of its cooperation with the French retailer and the two have agreed to extend their partnership to other locations as well. Another big retail chain entered Serbia almost two years ago - Belgium's Delhaize Group, after acquiring retailer Delta Maxi for EUR 932.5mn in July 2011 from the Delta Holding of Serbian tycoon Miroslav Miskovic. Delta Real Estate is also part of Delta Holding. |
