Poland’s first ‘social store’
21:33
The contract for running a “social store” in Katowice, southern Poland, has been ratified by representatives of local authorities and Fundacja Wolne Miejsce (in English: Free Place Foundation).
On the premises, which is to start operating in a few months, people in difficult life conditions will be able to buy basic items at prices lower than the market prices.
According to local authorities, it is the first such initiative in Poland. The store will be run by the Free Place Foundation, which was selected in a tender announced by the city. Initially, its task will be to renovate the premises handed over by the local government.
