EPG Group is reopening the hypermarket Albert in the modernised Varyáda shopping centre in Karlovy Vary. The reconstruction of the centre has started at the beginning of this year during the full operation.
The reopened Albert will offer customers a shopping area of 3,800 sqm and an expanded assortment. The store also has modern cooling and freezing facilities technology with temperature sensors, which monitor the optimal temperature and thus the quality of the goods, and at the same time save energy. Efficient LED lighting limits electricity consumption and reduces the carbon footprint. Electronic price tags save paper and work for employees. With these innovations implemented the store will save more than a third of energy.
In the new hypermarket, there are self-service cash registers and the Albert Scan service, which allows customers to scan products directly during the purchase and put them in the shopping bag right away.
The Varyáda shopping centre is the most visited in the Karlovy Vary region, this year it celebrates 19 years of its existence. There are almost 70 shops on more than 18,000 sqm. The building was commissioned in 2005 and is being modernised and expanded while the centre is in full operation. The expected completion date is before the Christmas season of 2025. Varyáda belongs together with the Central Most shopping centre to the portfolio of EPG Group.
