Their turnover amounted to a little over 29 million Leva /EUR 14.83 million/. By way of comparison, a day earlier it amounted to 25.5 million Leva /EUR 13.04 million/. On the third day of boycott, 27 February, an increase in turnover was registered amounting to 2.1 million Leva /EUR 1.07 million/.

A few days ago, the organizations behind the boycott urged the public to boycott foreign hypermarkets every Thursday until the price of the staple products they sell are aligned with the prices in Austria and Germany where the parent companies of these chain stores are based, and where incomes are double incomes in Bulgaria.
