BEGINNING
In 2005, a 21-year-old entrepreneur with an interest in commerce and merchandising became intrigued with the idea of operating a wholesale store In Cyprus. Anatolis Mavrangelides believed he could offer his customers a variety of high-quality products of good value from all over Eastern Europe. Growing up in a family of repatriates, he understood the value of this idea for all emigrants living in Cyprus.
Right from the start, he had a well-developed philosophy of what his company would be and how it would operate, a philosophy from which he and his management team have never strayed. The concept is a simple one, “the customers are the boss, and you need to keep them happy.”
But he would have to persist for many years before his dream would materialize. On the way to his goal, he opens a tiny warehouse in a small basement and begins his journey in business.
