Baltika avas Leedus neli uut brändipoodi

Message

Baltika avas eelmisel nädalal Vilniuse uusimas kaubandus- ja                    
meelelahutuskeskuses Panorama Montoni, Mosaici, Baltmani ja Ivo Nikkolo         
kauplused. Panorama keskus on Leedu pealinna uusim ostukompleks, mille kahel    
korrusel asub lisaks moepoodidele ka suur valik meelelahutusteenuseid ja        
teeninduspunkte. Baltika brändid hõivavad kokku ligi 1000 ruutmeetrit           
kaubanduskeskuse pinda. Nädalavahetus näitas, et kaupluste käivitumine saab     
olema edukas.                                                                   

Panorama keskuse poodide avamine on Baltikale tähtis ka sellepoolest, et seal   
avati esimene uue jaekontseptsiooniga Mosaici kauplus. Mosaici bränd on viimase 
paari aasta jooksul läbi teinud kiire arengu ning sellega seoses tekkis vajadus 
luua ka kliendi ootustele ja vajadustele vastav hubane ning mugav ostukeskkond. 

Leedu on 33 kauplusega müügikohtade arvult Baltika suurim turg. Leedule         
järgnevad Eesti, Ukraina ja Venemaa turud. Laienemine Baltika suurimal turul    
kogu brändiportfelliga on positiivne märk ettevõtte brändide kasvava tuntuse    
kohta Leedus.                                                                   

Baltika Grupil on nüüd seitsmel turul kokku 132 kauplust. Veel avatakse sel     
aastal kaks poodi ning aasta lõpuks on Grupil 134 kauplust müügipinnaga 27 000  
ruutmeetrit.

Baltika opened four new brand stores in Lithuania

Message

Last week Baltika opened Monton, Mosaic, Baltman and Ivo Nikkolo stores in      
Panorama, the newest shopping and entertainment centre in Vilnius, Lithuania.   
The Panorama centre is the newest shopping complex in the capital of Lithuania, 
which includes a large variety of entertainment services and other service      
providers in addition to fashion stores on its two floors. In total, Baltika's  
brands will cover nearly 1,000 square metres of area in the shopping centre. The
weekend showed that the stores will have a successful start.                    

Recent openings are significant also because Baltika opened its first Mosaic    
store with a new retail concept in Panorama. The Mosaic brand has undergone fast
development during the last couple of years and hence there was a need to create
a cosy and convenient shopping environment that would correspond with the       
expectations and needs of our customers.                                        

With its 33 stores, Lithuania is Baltika's biggest market in terms of the number
of stores. Lithuania is followed by the Estonian, Ukrainian and Russian markets.
Expansion on Baltika's biggest market with the entire brand portfolio is a      
positive sign of the growing awareness of the company's brands in Lithuania.    

Presently, Baltika Group has a total of 132 stores in seven countries. The      
company plans to open two more stores during the remaining part of the year. At 
the end of 2008, Baltika will have 134 stores with a total sales area of 27,000 
square metres.
