Leroy Merlin Ukraine LLC (Kyiv), developing the DIY hypermarket chain of the French brand Leroy Merlin in the country, in spring 2019 plans to open a first hypermarket outside Kyiv – in the Riviera shopping and entertainment center in Odesa.
The retailer wrote on its Facebook page that the company is looking for employees to work in the Leroy Merlin hypermarket in Odesa, which will be opened soon.
The fifth hypermarket of the Leroy Merlin chain in Ukraine (four operating in Kyiv) will be located in the Riviera shopping and entertainment center in Odesa, Senior Marketing Advisor at Riviera mall Yan Shkuro told Interfax-Ukraine.
“The opening of Leroy Merlin is scheduled for early spring. There is no the exact date. The total area of the premises is 10,500 square meters, without a greenhouse. Active construction of residential complexes is seen near the mall. There are over 60 residential complexes, and demand on construction materials is high,” Shkuro said.
