At the same time, our company pays great attention to modernizing older stores, which typically affects not only the facade and sales area, but in line with our sustainability efforts, technological equipment is also modernized and the energy consumption of the stores is significantly reduced. In this spirit, we have renovated our two supermarkets in Budapest. We spent a total of 580 million forints on the stores at Üllői út 525 and Veres Péter utca 47,”
