As Poslovni Dnevnik writies, Konzum is closing its store in Osijek’s largest shopping centre – Portanova. The reason behind the surprising business move, they explained, is part of a continuous business strategy of optimising Konzum’s sales network in accordance with current market circumstances and with the aim of increasing the efficiency of the entire system.
The last working day of that particular Osijek Konzum store, which falls under the Super Konzum title, was on Wednesday the 19th of May, and the company has assured that all 37 workers who were formerly employed in the store will be taken care of “in a mutual agreement” following the facility’s final closure, according to a report from Vecernji list.
”As a result of the store’s closure, all of the workers were allowed to be transferred to new positions in other stores across the City of Osijek and in the suburbs, while one worker announced their retirement. Konzum would like to thank all of its customers who have shopped in the store in Portanova for their trust and loyalty and invite them to continue shopping in one of the fifteen other Konzum stores located in the Osijek area, of which two are Super Konzumi and 4 Maxi Konzumi.
Considering that the store in Portanova was also the central store for online shopping services in the area of Osijek, Super Konzum in Gacka ulica (street) 10 will take over this role, and the people of Osijek will still be able to make purchases from the comfort of their own homes,” reads the statement from Konzum.
