Tesco-Global Aruhazak, which claims to be Hungary’s biggest hypermarket chain, said sales rose to 124.8bn forints (US$549.5m) for the first half of the year, compared to 99bn forints in the year-ago period.

The company attributed the increased sales to its expansion programme. Tesco has 29 hypermarkets in Hungary and plans to open four more by the end of the year.
