Slovakian customers doing all major shoppings in Hungary

More and more stores in Győr allow customers to pay in euro, whereas Slovakian supermarkets near the border are missing their old customers and see a 40 percent decrease in traffic – Híszerző.hu says.

 Owners of stores in Győr say that they are just trying to make shopping easier for customers arriving from Slovakia, while Slovakian stores are struggling to keep their customers. Special offers and longer availability don't seem to help, the town of Nagymegyer, for example, seem to have lost around 30-40 percent of customers. And it's not only food Slovakians prefer to buy in Hungary: they do their furniture- and clothes-shopping accross the border, too. Seems like all major shoppings are done in Hungary these days for those who live near the border.
