Leading Slovenian retailer Mercator has opened a new concept hypermarket, Mercator Šiška in Ljubljana, following extensive refurbishment. 
Among other new features, the store offers a new-look beer and wine department, with the beer section given the look and feel of a brewery, while the wine department has been refreshed as a stone wine cellar. It also has a Sanatura herbal store, offering medical and food supplements, a fresh meat department that allows shoppers to see meat preparation behind the scenes and a patisserie, which will offer a product to order service.
The new hypermarket concept also features a new domestic department, which will offer products from local producers and indigenous food from rural areas, as well as a vending machine offering wine and oils.
The retailer has also introduced a new scan & shop solution, using handheld in-store scanners, while the service can also be used via a dedicated M Scan mobile app. (www.igd.com)
