The special tax slows down the expansion of retail chains

It seems that the hypermarket tax slows down the expansion of the retail chains. Auchan spokesman said that the chain has to review its expansion schedule, because of the tax.

“Now we hear that, due to the tax, a significant development has stopped: Auchan will not come to Debrecen” – told Kósa Lajos, mayor of the city to haon.hu.

Gillemot Katalin Auchan’s spokesperson told to Pénzcentrum.hu, that their presence in Debrecen – along with several other cities – is including among the ideas of the chain, but they would not have opened store in Debrecen in the next 3 years anyway.
