The retailer is pledging savings of up to -20% compared to the Croatian domestic market and prices that are “competitive” with comparable stores at other European airports.
Of the store design, the company said: “The Croatian designer area is highlighted using modern industrial design with a special focus on the ceiling with stylized red squares that symbolise the fields of the Croatian coat of arms.”
