The Environmental Department has issued a positive opinion on the construction and operation of the new €6 million Alphamega hypermarket in the Municipality of Paralimni.
According to the data presented to the Authority, the estimated cost of the project, owned by the company C.A. Papaellinas Emporiki Ltd, is expected to reach six million euros, while the construction works of the supermarket are estimated to last 12 months.
It is noted that as the CEO of Alphamega Hypermarkets, George Theodotou mentioned in an interview with InBusinessNews, in the context of ‘IN Business Forecasting 2024,’ within the year work will begin on the construction of two more hypermarkets in Zakaki and Paralimni, aiming to be operational by 2025.
The goal is also to start construction work on a new hypermarket in Engomi within 2024, and which will be built on a piece of land opposite the existing Alphamega.

According to the architectural plans, the proposed access is expected to be an extension of the public road resulting from the subdivision of the lots (AMX/0467/2010).
As mentioned, moreover, in the Environmental Impact Assessment Study, the project aims to enrich the services and facilities provided to the consumers of the Municipality of Paralimni (locals and tourists) in terms of the retail trade sector and in particular the sale of food and other household products.
