Hyper One Group studies pumping EGP 650 million new investments during the coming 3 years, for constructing 3 new branches in Cairo governorate. The Group chairman, Mohamed El Hawary, told Amwal Al Ghad that Egyptian market is open to new investments, and it receives more commercial branches which serve Egyptian consumer; especially after sharpening the competition between them and retreating the prices. He elaborated that the expansion decision has no relation to Zad supermarkets which the MB businessman Khairat al-Shater announced. He had set his investing plan immediately after the revolution, ad he anticipated the necessity of Egyptian market on the long term. The incomes of investment in Egypt are very large and there aren't any problems concern spreading the new supermarkets in different governorates.
