Orlen, Jeronimo Martins and Lotus (first and last are gas stations I think), the leaders of this year's 500 List of the Republic of Poland. Most of the companies that were at the forefront of the latest ranking uses in its business franchise . In this Ladybug, which also recognizes the potential of this development.

Fuel industry takes the lead in Poland's franchise market

For the Polish PKN Orlen , the development of the franchise is one of the main directions of development. - Network Station franchise is an important distribution channel. Its development proceeds in a planned performance by the company as to the quantity and potential. We are a leader in the Polish market , both in terms of number of stations DOFO ( Dealer Owned Franchise Operated - ed.) As well as the dynamics of this distribution channel . We assume that the benefits of working with the company will bear fruit successive agreements with franchisees - the company predicts.

Im considering about buying franchise in poland

I'd stay out of the convenience store market right now: it is far too crowded.

No,its not crowded there is still huge potential to be explored in Poland locations.Are you saying that multi million worth companies are opening franchises without doing there home work?Some stores in Warsaw I personally know rake in over 250k $ a year net profit.

Aviv where and what franchisecost differs so you have to be specific what exactly are you looking for.

No,its not crowded

My walk home from work is about 1.2km. I go past three Zabkas. I used to go past four but one of them has closed down again (it closed down last month and also at about this time last year). I also go past or within 50 metres of at least eleven (I'm doing the journey in my head now, so I may miss a few) more convenience/food stores - most of which are franchise/agencies, all of the one that have opened in the last two years are - plus a supermarket and a market. About 250 to 300 metres of my walk is across a park where there are no shops. Does it sound to anybody else that the convenience/food store market in central Warsaw is saturated?

if you are interested in Zabka/freshpoint franchise Pm me as I am also consulting them

If I was employing a consultant, I'd very much want him to at least know such basic facts about my industry as the names of my brands and those of my competitors. Zabka is a chain of convenience stores run by agents who are independent businesspeople and owned by Mid Europa Partners; I have written a lot about Zabka. Freshpoint is a chain sandwich of store run by AmRest (and I'm pretty sure they aren't selling franchises, given how they have converted some of their flagship locations into Starbucks, which is another AmRest brand).

No they are not. It really is that simple. Sorry.

Zabka is a chain of convenience stores operated by Mid Europa Partners. Read about it here: mideuropa.com/investments/portfolio/current-investments/zabka-polska/

Anybody who wants to become a Zabka agent can read about that here: zabka.pl/pl/zostan-ajentem/dlaczego-warto
(summary: Why become a Zabka agent Principles of co-operation Recruitment process What we offer Intro beginning "Zabka's workforce are people with many years of experience in the building trade networks. Responding to changes in the lives of Poles and to meet their needs we have created a network of convenience stores where customers can quickly and easily obtain the most useful products. In this way on the map of PolandZabka shops appeared").

Freshpoint is:

Freshpoint, a new AmRest brand, will be the Company's own chain of restaurants to be located at places with heavy pedestrian traffic and a menu principally based on sandwiches to be eaten at the restaurant or to be taken away. The first Freshpoint outlet launched its operation in mid March 2006.

amrest.eu/en/investors-news/first-freshpoint-restaurant

However, Polish media has reported that AmRest is either selling or closing the brand. I personally know that some of the former Freshpoint locations have become Starbucks. With there being virtually no support from AmRest, I would very much recommend against purchasing a Freshpoint franchise (if they are even still for sale).
