The first two Fix Price stores opened in Mongolia’s capital city, Ulaanbaatar, on 13th and 14th of January as part of the chain’s franchise programme.
The selling space of each store is about 250 sq m. The first store is located at 37, Moskva street, while the second one is located at 36, Ard Ayush prospekt. Both stores have a product offering of more than 1,100 SKUs.
Products will be delivered to Fix Price stores in Mongolia by our franchise partner and shipped by trucks from the distribution centre in Novosibirsk.
