The Scala‐Buda department store: The Marks and Spencer of Hungary

In June the author visited Hungary for a two week period under the British Council's Cultural Exchange Programme to review the current state of the Co‐operative Movement in Hungary. What he describes as one of his most “interesting and rewarding visits” was to the Skala group head office where he met the Chairman of the group, and then the Skala‐Buda department store where he was given a conducted tour of this “jewel” of Hungarian retailing.
