PKN Orlen and Lotos to take over Żabka? - media

Weekly Uważam Rze said, without naming its sources, that state-run oil refiners PKN Orlen and Grupa Lotos could team up to buy convenience store chain Żabka. In June, Wholesale FMCG giant Eurocash said it was interested in taking over the company. "Eurocash is interested in new acquisitions, including taking over Żabka retailer," Eurocash CEO Luis Amaral told Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Negocios. "There is still much to do. We are only halfway." Żabka is the biggest network in terms of convenience stores in Poland.
