A major advantage for the metropolitan areas is the establishment of a coherent commercial system. Therefore, in Romania there are more than 100.000 shops, our country being a leader in Europe in what the number of shops per thousand inhabitants is concerned. Presently, in our country there are different ways of selling the products: in supermarkets, hypermarkets, cash&carry, malls, specialised centres and so on. More and more well known companies are interested in the potential of the markets from the Romanian metropolitan areas. This paper analyses the Romanian commerce and the large chain stores which invest in our country. Our present research is a part of the DEMOS project.
