Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
In the City of Ivanec, the second STOP SHOP in Varaždin County and the 18th retail park in Croatia was officially opened, employing over 100 new workers in the retail trade. This investment is worth € 6 million.
STOP SHOP Ivanec spans 7,660 m² with 368 parking spaces, hosting a wide range of local and international brands. The STOP SHOP retail parks were developed with the idea of providing simple, accessible, and fast shopping for all citizens, especially those living in small and medium-sized towns.
Ivanec was chosen as the location because it is well-connected, economically active, and has clearly defined needs among the local population.
STOP SHOP Ivanec is a part of the international CPI Property Group.
