What Dino Polska does

Polish supermarket chain operating mid-sized convenience-format grocery stores across smaller towns and cities.

Sells everyday groceries at low prices in towns where large hypermarkets and discounters are scarce, owns many of its store sites, which keeps rent out of its costs, and expands by opening a large number of new stores each year; meat from its own plants forms a distinctive part of the offer. Founder Tomasz Biernacki holds a controlling stake.

In one line: A rural-format grocery chain, like a smaller Dollar General with fresh food.
