GTC Mall Branch of Populi to Close

Which supermarket chain will replace the Populi branch in the GTC shopping mall? A spokesman for GTC has confirmed that the contract with Populi is being terminated, and the branch will cease operating on September 1. The spokesman has confirmed that the contract is being terminated early, although no reasons have been specified. According to representatives at the mall, Populi had not been bringing in new stocks at the branch recently. A spokesman for Populi itself explains the closure of the branch with a new company strategy, which will see the opening of smaller express format units across the country. According to him, the first such unit has already been opened in Kutaisi, and another 20 new branches are to be opened within the next year. GTC is currently in negotiations with Carrefour about the opening of a new supermarket in the mall.
