Construction of hypermarket "Mercator" in Kragujevac, on surface of 20,000 square meters, should commence in August. The head city architect, Miodrag Popović, says that "Mercator" should submit the preliminary project for that facility to the authorized in the Kragujevac local self-government prior to mid-May, so that the building permit could be timely assigned to that company.
The plan is that the construction of hypermarket be completed in March 2008.
Although the plan was that the hypermarket be opened in 2009, the management of this market chain estimated that the construction should be accelerated because the parcel near hall "Jezero", 1.3 ha large, became interesting to other investors in the meantime.
