EMF, which has generated revenues of over zł.766 million and a zł.8.6 million profit during three quarters of this year, revealed yesterday a list of 50 new towns and cities were Empik stores will soon be opened. "This is another phase of development of the network. We are already present in most of the biggest cities. The time has come for those cities of around 100,000 inhabitants or less," said EMF's spokesperson, Katarzyna Górecka. According to analysts, it is a trend for large store networks to enter smaller cities. "The market is still poorly utilized comparing to larger cities," said Andrzej Faliński, secretary general of the Polish Trade and Distribution Organization. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) A.K.
