In Russia, after first developing its presence in Moscow, in 2006 Auchan opened its first hypermarkets in other parts of the country: in Nijni Novgorod, Ekaterinburg and Saint Petersburg. 
The chain has adopted a strong discount positioning: the product assortments include a majority of local budget products, including a low-cost range, produced in partnership with local SMEs. They also include a wide selection of fresh products.
In 2008, 12 Ramstore acquired from Enka have adopted the Auchan City banner; the smallest format which offers a product range specially selected for its local convenience market. In 2009, Auchan Russia also created an even more discount format, Radouga, adapted to medium-sized towns.
