A New Maxima Express Store in the Centre of Riga

October 25, 2018

Today, October 25th, the second Maxima Express store opened in Riga at 30 Kr. Barona Street. The new store, which was created with an investment of 156,000 Euro, features a renewed facade as well as both store and service areas set up according to modern shopping and work environment standards. The new Maxima Express store created positions for seven new employees.

“The Latvian public, particularly those that live in cities, increasingly appreciates the option of purchasing necessities quickly, conveniently and in the modern environment provided by convenience stores or small-format stores. In expanding the Maxima Express store network, we have taken care to provide a special selection of basic groceries, as well as tasty, high-quality prepared meals including popular Asian flavors and vegetarian food. We are certain that even our most discerning clients will enjoy the stores’ functions as well as the assistance of our helpful and professional staff,” comments Kristīne Āboltiņa, Maxima Latvija Board Member.

This new store will be the third of the Maxima Grupe’s new Maxima Express format to be introduced in the Baltics, with the new concept having been specially adapted to the fast pace of modern life. The compact, 80m2 store will offer a carefully considered selection of important everyday products, including prepared meals for vegetarians from the restaurant Wok n Kurry, the broad Meistara Markas product range to be enjoyed both in-store and to-go, hot drinks, fresh vegetables and fruit, as well as other groceries and household goods. The new store also provides a comfortable work environment with a 100m2 service area and a lift to the basement for more convenient movement of products.

The opening of the Maxima Express is part of Maxima Latvija’s 2018 investment program aimed at expansion of the customer shopping experience by investing over EUR 23 million. Maxima Latvija is planning on reconstructing 15 stores in Riga and the regions, as well as open five various format stores throughout the country, including several Maxima Express concept stores.
