Everything is ready for the opening of the new Esselunga on Via Antica Milizia, the first in Ravenna. The opening ceremony – even if no ribbon cutting is planned – is scheduled for Wednesday, May 22 at 7:30 a.m. This is the chain’s first ever supermarket in the entire Romania region (the closest one is currently in Bologna).
The store is located in the Via Antica Milizia subdistrict near Cesarea Park and near the area where the Cia-Conad group plans to build two additional stores (one food and one non-food), as well as new housing. In recent months, the company has hired about a hundred people including student officials, sales staff and cashiers.
