CBA may acquire the leaving chains

According to market informations, the Profi and the Match can be the two chain of stores that may generate more excitement in the Hungarian commercial industry.

Great competition has started between the players to acquire the two chains. The Magyar Nemzet daily wrote that it would be a logical step for CBA to buy the shops because the Match and Profi can be easily inserted into CBA’s current image.

The purchase of the chains would be a significant expansion for CBA, because the number of the 105 CBA Prima stores would be more than doubled with the 123 Match stores even if the duplications in many cases would be terminated. On the discount market, expansion would even be larger as the 14 CBA Cent units could be expanded with 73 Profi discounts. (portfolio.hu)
