MAKRO ∼: The one‐stop wholesalers

Abstract

An extensive range of non‐food products; the buying power of a continental‐based organisation; a computerised approach to stock control — these are features which tend to distinguish the Makro self‐service wholesaling group from the normal run of C‐and‐C operators. Its latest depot, a 125,000 sq ft warehouse (with parking for 800 cars) built on the site of a greyhound track in south‐east London, is its fifth unit in the UK and the first to appear south of Birmingham. It registered 36,000 retail customers within two days of opening.
