This morning, Mayor Francisco Azcué participated in the official opening of the company Maxiconsumo, one of the country's main firms and a leader in the Wholesale Hypermarket category. It is the first branch in the province of Entre Ríos, and it will generate a significant number of jobs in Concordia.
In this regard, Mayor Francisco Azcué stated that “we are clear about the direction we want to give the city. To develop Concordia, we must seek consensus between the State and the private sector, placing the private sector and civil associations at the center of the stage. We must create a favorable system for the development of investment, and for the productive, economic, and financial growth of our city.” Likewise, he pointed out that “we will continue to grow and Concordia will continue to be a city of opportunities.”
The company's director, Juan Manuel Fera, said that “we toured the premises and were able to discuss some issues. The mayor's visit is very important and an honor for us,” as it was a meeting “where we were able to celebrate and toast to this joint achievement, where we brought our valued project to Concordia.” At the same time, he noted that “we are going to work together with merchants; we have a policy of maintaining the same prices throughout the country to benefit consumers. Concordia has very close cities and we seek to have influence throughout the territory, thinking of Maxiconsumo as the wholesaler that it is.”
