X5 Pyaterochka to accept card payments

Russia-based grocery retailer X5 expects 70% of Pyaterochka stores to be able to accept payment by bank card by 2011. X5 successfully tested this type of payment in St Petersburg and has decided to expand it to all its Pyaterochka stores. Pyaterochka is the first Russian price-orientated store format which will accept bank cards.
