PNSA advised Auchan in the MyAuchan stores opening within the OMV Petrom stations

PNSA advised Auchan Retail Romania in respect of the takeover of the entire chain (more than 400 units) of OMV Petrom petrol filling stations in view of converting them into MyAuchan proximity stores and their further non-petrol retail operation.
