SPAR to expand logistics center to 20,000 sqm in MLP Czeladź

The food retailer SPAR will expand its logistics center in Czeladź. The facility at MLP Czeladź will be placed in service later this year. Currently, SPAR occupies an area of 8,800 sqm used as a warehouse, cold and freezing rooms, office and staff amenity space. The SPAR logistics center will be expanded by another 11,200 sqm, the vast majority of which will be used for warehousing, cold storage, and freezing purposes. The additional facility will be dedicated to a modern office, which will be expanded by 250 sqm. This phase is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2022.

“At the moment we have three warehouses: one near Poznań, one in the Silesian town of Czeladź, and one in Gnatowice near Warsaw. They should be sufficient for now. Within the next three months, we plan to further improve the efficiency of deliveries and expand the logistics capacity at each of these locations. As sales grow, we will gradually expand our existing warehouses. We want more and more of SPAR’s turnover to come from our own logistics and procurement structure. I expect the three warehouses to fully meet our needs over the next five years and help us effectively and efficiently support our stores at every location we acquire as part of our expansion across Poland – from Zgorzelec through Suwałki to Szczecin. So we don’t expect to launch any new warehouses in the medium term,” Wayne Hodson, CEO of the SPAR chain in Poland, emphasized.
