Fredrikstad, 8 June 2018: Europris ASA (OSE: EPR) is pleased to announce that it
has successfully launched its online shop this week.
"Customers now have access to Europris leading discount retailer offering
online. After a couple of clicks they can enjoy home deliveries across Norway"
says CEO Pål Wibe, adding "we now leverage our powerful physical presence when
we expand and become a omnichannel retailer. A huge potential undoubtedly exists
for us within ecommerce over time. Our concept is unique in that people expect
to find "everything" when they visit one of our stores - as long as it provides
good value."
With the opportunities provided by online shopping, Europris is no longer
limited by number of stores and the physical space in the stores. This makes it
possible for Europris to extend its offering. While the physical stores continue
to be Europris main channel for the foreseeable future, the groups growth
strategy remains firm and the discount variety retailer expansion now continues
in two areas, both through physical stores and its new online channel.
"Over time, the flexibility of our discount offering allows us to create a
strong omni-channel retailer with a large network of stores conveniently located
where our customers live, while offering a wide online range of good-value
products across multiple categories" Wibe concludes.
