The first hypermarket is due to open at the beginning of February in Kotelniki, east of Moscow. The €40m (US$42.6m) Marktkauf brand store will include a supermarket, a DIY home supply store and a garden centre.

AVA is currently choosing between 66 plots of land for the construction of a further seven or eight hypermarkets. The company predicts that more than 80% of the goods sold at its hypermarkets will come from Russia, reported the Moscow Times.

Turkish retailer Ramenka, German retailer Metro and French retailer Auchan already have stores in the region.
