The hypermarket will cost some 8m levs (US$4.1m) and create 100 jobs once construction is completed. The store is expected to welcome its first customers next February.
Billa already operates nine stores in Bulgaria, three of which are in the capital city of Sofia. A further eight to ten hypermarkets are in the pipeline.
