This is a key growth market for Géant and we have invested heavily to ensure that we are present in the right locations, with the right people at the helm, trained in the correct way to deal with our large customer base and given opportunities themselves for growth and development.”
He continued: “We chose the location here at Dragon Mart 2 to ensure we are strategically placed to serve the heavily populated neighbourhoods of Silicon Oasis and International City to name just a few, and we look forward to welcoming our new customers to the store.”
The Géant Hypermarket in Dragon Mart 2 will feature a wide selection of groceries at great prices, with over 65,000 unique products on offer including daily deliveries of fresh fruit and vegetables from local and international producers.
