The plans of "El Dorado" to open similar stores in all major cities of Russia.

Market participants disagreed about the prospects for a new project, "Eldorado". "The percentage of damaged equipment, pre-marriage or a return to the" Eldorado "is around 3% of turnover. For such a big company is essential. In the end, sub-standard equipment needed to do something with, so the idea to sell it at a discount to be quite successful, "- said an employee of the Russian company that sells appliances. "The" Eldorado "was already a discount store technology" telly-VCR "on the Bratislava street.

The main buyers of damaged goods are commercial organizations, such as cafes and restaurants. They do not look important, for example, the freezer, the main thing - to frost. They take the goods directly from the warehouse, and the glass case samples we sell at a discount to customers directly in stores, "- adds Kirill Novikov, general director of network" Expert-Retail ».

Discount store technology called "Sea of ​​discounts" (an area of ​​about 400 sq. M) is at "Technosila". The company opened its March 2005 on Shchelkovo highway, 5. "They sell machines with external and mechanical damage - scratches and chips. Another name chosen to shop is not mixed with the image of hypermarkets "Technosila" says Senyuk. However, she said, the name of the new project "Eldorado" raises questions. Until the autumn of last year, shares of sales in the "Technosila" called "TehnoSale." "Probably," Eldorado "crisis of the genre, and they want us to use already advertised the phrase," - says Senyuk. "It's just a good name for a store selling discounted art '- Shifrin parries.
