"Lubango is the second store outside the province of Luanda, and is part of the Newaco Group's expansion plan, which guarantees to have even more novelties this year and in 2023. We will continue to expand, in order to have stores necessary to provide to our customer a quality service and guarantee of a permanent assortment in our store. Naturally, this decision will be based on the response we get from the customers who visit us", said the responsible.
