Penny Market (Rewe Group), German soft discounter with an aggressive growth strategy for Bulgaria, announced it wants to build a 50-unit network in the country by the end of the year.

Tengelman, the parent company of Plus, owns 94 and 16 stores in Romania and Bulgaria respectively.

According to realtors the economic crisis in the past year has proved fertile for the discount retailers stepping on Bulgarian soil in recent months and the country will see their boom in 2010.
