Booming Tesco plans to open up 14 more hipermarkets in Poland this year

This very successful result is fueling Tesco's expansion policy and the company intends to open another 10-14 hipermarkets (with around 2,000-12,000 square meters) and six smaller supermarkets (under 1,000 square meters) also under the brand name Tesco this year. Tesco already has 48 stores in Poland: 17 under the Tesco name and 31 trading under Savia. However, the company is only planning to expand under the Tesco brand and does not envisage opening any new Savia's. The company says it will continue its policy of exporting Polish vegetables and fruit to Tesco stores in other countries. (Puls Biznesu p.8) M.G.
