RETAIL
In early 1995, Renoprom initiated new business: retail - developing a network of small, specialized stores of quality technical goods named „Studio 19“, based in Zagreb, Rijeka and Split. In 2002, following global trends of ‘megastore concept’ in retail, Renoprom opened the first Croatian megastore named TechnoMax in the shopping centre „King Cross“ in Zagreb. TechnoMax introduced the widest selection of brand-name consumer products in one place, gaining a reputation as the largest and best-equipped store for IT, electronic and Hi-Fi equipment in the Republic of Croatia. It was soon clear that this sucess will alter the business stategy for the future. The old name for small shops was altererd to “TechnoMax“.
New business target was: opening new megastores at carefully chosen locations within adequate shopping malls. New TechnoMax was opened in Rijeka in 2006, spanning onto 2,000 m2 of the retail space only, located in the shopping mall “Tower Center Rijeka“. It was the largest megastore of technical goods in Croatia at the time. In autumn of 2007, the third TechnoMax centre in Croatia was opened in Split located within the business and shopping centre PTC Joker in the city centre, spanning onto 1,600 m2. Next expansion continued in Dalmatia in 2008. Renoprom opened fourth megastore in the centre of Zadar within the new, annexed part of the existing shopping mall “City Galleria“. In 2009, the Company took over former Technoplus retail store in Sisak, making it its fifth TechnoMax store with the adequate offer for the needs of that region. In September, the Company finally covered the eastern part of the city of Zagreb, opening another megastore in Garden Mall in Dubrava, spanning onto 1600 m2.
