Makro opens store in S. Kalimantan

BANJARMASIN, South Kalimantan: Giant retailer Makro Indonesia
opened its 17th store here in a bid to expand business targeting
small and middle businesses.

Makro president director Simon Collins said during the opening
of the store that Banjarmasin was perfect for the expansion
because it hosts small and medium businesses.

The retailer will also expand its market in Yogyakarta, Bekasi
and Surakarta, all on Java island.

"Makro aims at developing small and middle businesses in
Indonesia. Half of our products on the shelves come from these
businesses and therefore we must sell them at low prices so they
are affordable for the public," Collins said. -- JP
