Croatian grocer Konzum has been named the best retailer in the country at the 'Golden Basket' ceremony, hosted by Ja Trgovac magazine.
The Agrokor-owned retailer was selected after judges rated its performance in business improvements, successful strategies, sales and profit figures, and other business-related areas.
Slavko Ledić, chief executive of Konzum, said that the award underlines the success that the retailer has had since its merger with Mercator. "From completing the integration process with Mercator all the way to the opening of our flagship store – Super Konzum Radnička and a new online shop, Konzum klik – the entire previous year was marked by working on advancing our business.
"The award for the best retailer in 2015 will serve as an extra incentive for all of us in Konzum to continue in the same direction, with innovation, modern retail standards and the best world practices, which will enable us to achieve successful results and steps forward in this year as well.”
The 'Golden Basket' is presented by retail and FMCG specialist magazine Ja Trgovac in six different categories (small retailer, socially responsible company, technological supplier, producer, product, retailer).
