Biedronka opens 24 new stores and modernizes 23 ahead of Christmas
As part of its pre-Christmas preparations, Biedronka has expanded its network with 24 new stores and completed the modernization of 23 existing outlets across Poland, the company announced.
Many of the new and revamped locations are situated outside major urban centers, reflecting Biedronka’s strategy to bring its services closer to local communities. Notable first-time store openings include locations in Pierzchnica and Zawoja in the Małopolska province, Żyrzyn in Lublin, and Oleszna in Silesia. Meanwhile, residents of cities such as Warsaw, Zielona Góra, and Chorzów can now shop in modernized facilities.
The newly opened stores feature an average sales area of 748 m², with modern layouts that include three traditional and four self-service checkout stations. Both the new and upgraded outlets incorporate energy-efficient technologies, such as LED lighting and eco-friendly refrigeration systems, in line with the company’s commitment to sustainability.
In addition to these developments, Biedronka has extended the opening hours of over 3,100 stores during the holiday rush. From December 20 to 23, these locations will remain open until 11:30 PM to accommodate increased customer demand.
At the end of the third quarter of 2024, Biedronka operated 3,659 outlets, up from 3,473 a year earlier, highlighting its steady growth in the Polish retail market.
