New retail chain to open in former "Mere" store locations in Lithuania

A new retail chain called "Maryte retail" is set to launch in Lithuania, planning to open 40 stores, some of them in the premises of the now-closed "Mere" chain. The "Mere" network had previously ceased operations in the country.

A new player is entering the Lithuanian retail market — a chain called "Maryte retail". The company plans to open 40 stores across the country.

Some of the new chain's outlets will be set up in premises that previously housed stores of the "Mere" retail chain. The "Mere" stores in Lithuania have been closed, and their former premises will now be repurposed for the new chain's expansion.

Further details about the opening schedule, exact locations, or product range of the new chain have not yet been disclosed.
