Greece's Sklavenitis To Buy Stake In Veropoulos

Greek supermarket chain Sklavenitis is to purchase a large share in rival grocer Veropoulos.

The agreement to sell a 60-per-cent stake is the product of negotiations which have been ongoing for several months, according to reports. The move  will increase the annual turnover of the chain to approximately €2 billion.

The official announcement that the two retailers have agreed terms has yet to be made, but it is anticipated this will occur within the next fortnight.

A massive plus for Sklavenitis will be access to the market outside Athens, as it, unlike Veropoulos, has always been capital-centric in its business.
