Next Monday in Marijampole, Gedimino st. 96, the one X Maxima store in operation will be closed permanently.
“After closing this store for good, the very next day, November 26, we will invite customers to visit the newly opened One X store located right next to the old Maxima. The new chain store will be more spacious, offering a wider range of carefully selected goods, so we hope that customers will like it just as much as the old one and will become an even more popular place for everyday shopping”, says the director of the Communications and Corporate Relations Department of the Lithuanian shopping chain Maxima. Indrė Trakimaitė-Šeškuviene.
For the convenience of shoppers and the surrounding residents, during the construction of the new “Maxima” store, a pedestrian path was installed near Klaipėda Street, as well as the rainwater networks in Birštonas Street. During the construction of the shopping center building, investments were also made in better lighting in Klaipėda and Birštonas streets, ensuring greater safety of residents.
The modern shopping center building built on a former abandoned plot meets A++ energy efficiency standards. More than 30 trees were planted near the store, 72 parking spaces were installed, bike racks and posts for dogs were provided.
Considering the growing number of electric cars, charging stations for electric cars were also installed near the store. In the near future, it is also planned to install additional fast charging stations for electric cars.
There will be slightly more employees in this store than in the old one – as many as 25. It will be possible to pay for goods in this store at 2 regular and 7 new generation self-service cash registers, so the payment will be not only more convenient, but also faster.
In addition, clothing, cosmetics, flower shops, a meat shop and a veterinary clinic will also be located in the same building where the new Maxima will operate. The shop will be waiting for customers every day from 8 am. until 10 p.m.

What factors influenced the decision to transition from the original Maxima store to the new One X format in Marijampole?
**Interview with Indrė Trakimaitė-Šeškuviene, Director of Communications and Corporate Relations at Maxima**
**Host**: Thank you for joining us today, Indrė. We understand that the original X Maxima store on Gedimino Street in Marijampole will close its doors permanently next Monday. Can you tell us what led to this decision?
**Indrė**: Thank you for having me. The decision to close the store was not made lightly. We are always looking to enhance our customer experience, and after careful consideration, we felt it was time to transition to a more modern and spacious format. This new One X store, which will open immediately after the closure, is designed to meet the evolving needs of our customers.
**Host**: That sounds exciting! What improvements can customers expect from the new One X store compared to the old Maxima location?
**Indrė**: The new One X store will be significantly larger and will feature a wider range of carefully selected goods. We’ve focused on creating a shopping environment that is not only more spacious but also more enjoyable for our customers. Our goal is to ensure that shoppers find everything they need while also discovering new products that may not have been available in the old store.
**Host**: Great to hear! What measures have been taken to ensure that the shopping experience remains convenient for customers in the area during this transition?
**Indrė**: We have implemented several improvements during the construction of the new store. For instance, we’ve installed a pedestrian path near Klaipėda Street to enhance accessibility for shoppers and local residents. Additionally, we’ve upgraded the rainwater drainage systems on Birštonas Street and improved lighting in both Klaipėda and Birštonas streets to ensure better safety and convenience for everyone in the neighborhood.
**Host**: That’s wonderful! It seems like a lot of thoughtful planning has gone into this project. How have you responded to the community’s feedback during this process?
**Indrė**: Community feedback is vital to us, and we’ve been actively engaging with local residents throughout the planning and construction phases. We’ve taken their concerns and suggestions seriously, and many of the changes—like improved walkways and lighting—are a direct response to their input. We believe that fostering this dialog is essential in creating a store that truly meets the needs of our community.
**Host**: Thank you for sharing these insights, Indrė. We look forward to seeing how the community responds to the new One X store when it opens on November 26!
**Indrė**: Thank you! We are excited to welcome everyone and are confident they will enjoy the new shopping experience we have created for them.
