The reaction of the store representatives

“We express our regret for the incident that took place today, March 28, in the premises where our Supeco store operates, located on Liviu Rebreanu Street in Sector 3 of the Capital. During working hours, in the entrance area of ​​the store, above the vegetable and fruit section, a piece of plasterboard ceiling was detached.

Internally, we promptly took all measures to mitigate this incident, urgently alerting the competent authorities. Unfortunately, a customer who was shopping in that area was surprised by the fall of that portion. According to ISU representatives, she suffered minor injuries, being transported to the Emergency Clinical Hospital “St. Pantelimon”, where he received medical care and is in a stable condition. Our colleagues are in direct contact with the client, offering her all the necessary support for a complete and quick recovery.

We thank the intervention teams and bodies that came to the scene and quickly took the necessary steps in such situations.

Furthermore, as the safety of our customers and employees is a priority and a permanent concern for us, we have internally initiated an investigation to establish what were the circumstances of this incident. Also, since the space in which the store operates is rented, our team informed the owner about what happened.

We remain at the disposal of the authorities investigating this situation, with the mention that we will take any necessary measures to prevent the occurrence of such incidents in the future”, Supeco Romania representatives stated in a press release.
