Marché International Market entry in Croatia

Marché International and the Croatian fuel retailer Tifon, MOL Group subsidiary, opens their first common subsidiary in Croatia, seven Tifon gas stations being about to also display the Marché® logo along Croatia’s highways in the near future.

The cooperation will involve the
operation of five rest stops that currently exist and two others that
are planned to be built in the forthcoming period. The new Marché
locations will be found within the Tifon filling stations along some
of the most traveled roads used by tourists between Zagreb
and Split, as well as between Zagreb
and Rijeka. This agreement is a continuation of a series, as in the
frame of MOL Group and Marché International co-operation, in
Hungary three restaurants
have been already opened at MOL filling
stations. There are plans to open altogether seven Marché
restaurants in the forthcoming months in Hungary.
The existing restaurants will be
successively remodeled so that they comply with the various Marché®
design and marketing concepts. The design of the new restaurants will
be represented by Marché® Restaurants, Marché®
Bistros and Marché® Natural Bakeries in Croatia.

Marché International will also
operate two hotels at the highway Tifon rest stops in Ravna Gora and
Draganic. Aside from the five existing rest stops, two new Tifon
locations will also be opened by the end of 2008 in Draganic.
