The new Kaufland Militari Residence distinguishes itself from other stores in the country by being the first store built from eco-friendly concrete. ECOPact is a concrete with low carbon emissions and offers 100% performance, with CO2 emissions 30% lower compared to standard concrete (CEM I), thus Kaufland aims to contribute to reducing pollution in urban areas.

Both stores are equipped with generous parking lots, with 275 available spaces in Bucharest and 205 in Zalău, including parking spaces for parents and people with disabilities. Those who choose alternative transportation have access to charging stations for electric cars and bicycle racks.

To ensure a fast flow of customers and reduced time for shopping, each hypermarket is equipped with 15 and 14 cash registers – both standard and express, self-checkout type.
