The Venice supermarket also features an eco-friendly component, due to the adoption of low environmental impact systems. Lighting, furthermore, is powered by an LED network.
The goal of the MEGA store concept is to offer a number of branded products at 'every day low prices', guaranteeing savings without sacrificing quality, the retailer said.
