Kakheti Georgia
Shopping in Kachreti stagnated for many years with only a few small shops for daily provisions. Kachreti, like many other towns in Georgia has begun a rejuvination. In the past couple of years, larger provisioners have realised the potential in Kachreti and have opened their supermarkets here. Only two years ago, the only way to visit a supermarket was to travel to Gurjaani (32km) or further afield. Late in 2021 Magniti opened its doors in the town centre after taking over a disused banqueting hall. This was shortly followed by a Spar supermarket 1km out of the town by the main highway. In 2023 a smaller supermarket – Guirila – opened its doors.
Many smaller shops have benefited because of the influx of shoppers from nearby villages.
