Maribor24 reports that the German variety-store chain NKD is opening a new branch in the Pobrežje district of Maribor, at the former location of the now-closed Kik store. The company describes it as a strategic decision based on a good location and confirms that its existing NKD branch in the nearby Mercator centre will keep operating in parallel. The new store officially opens this Thursday at 8 a.m., with some opening-day discounts and offers for the first customers.
