Metro Group Saturn launches in Russia

Metro Group-owned consumer electronics retailer Saturn has opened its first store in Russia. The 4,700 square metre outlet is located in Moscow’s Vegas Mall, the country’s largest shopping centre. A second Saturn outlet is scheduled for Voronezh in late 2010 and several other stores are currently being planned. Metro Group’s consumer electronics arm Media-Saturn is already present in Russia with consumer electronics retailer Media Markt, which opened its first store in 2006 and now operates a network of 24 outlets.
