Every day, 10 prizes worth RON 500 will be drawn.

The successful completion of this project supports our long-term ambition to maintain this leading position and to further develop our offer of services and products, at the best price. The two teams managed in a record time of three years to set up almost 400 MyAuchan stores. And we’re not stopping here: together with our partner Auchan, we will continue to think of initiatives to the benefit of our customers".

Ionuț Ardeleanu, General Manager Auchan Retail Romania: We are delighted to successfully complete this innovative and unique project, through which we have created genuine convenience stores, offering Romanians a new experience and the opportunity to save time by fueling and shopping in one stop. We thank our partners from OMV Petrom and Auchan teams for the extraordinary things done together and for the excellent collaboration in recent years. We thank the customers who visited our stores for their loyalty, because they appreciated the new stations and MyAuchan stores inside. I congratulate the Auchan and OMV Petrom teams for the way they completed the refurbishment of the stations in record time."
