Eroski To Open 60 New Stores In 2013

Eroski supermarket plans to open 60 new franchises in 2013, at a total investment of €20 million.

14 Eroski stores have already been launched this year, with the retailer's 80th franchised Basque country store opening today, 13 June in Bilbao. The new 344 square metre store at Calle Ricardo Arregui will carry around 2500 lines, from both brands and Eroski own-brand products represented, along with an in-store fish counter.

According to the retailer, Eroski is 'committed' to the promotion of its local produce, which comes from 500 Basque suppliers. The Eroski range offers both standard local produce such as fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, along with regional products of a more artisan nature, such as Orozco sausages, Do Idiazábal cheese and local speciality wine txakolis.

Eroski has 80 franchised supermarkets in the Basque region, with a further 145 owned by the retailer, along with 34 hypermarkets, petrol stations, opticians, travel agents, perfume stores and sports equipment store FORUM SPORT. Nationally, Eroski has a network of more than 2100 stores and hypermarkets under various banners. (13 June)
