Eurocash expands franchise model with 400 new stores

Eurocash has added more than 400 new stores to its networks—including ABC, Groszek, Euro Sklep, and Delikatesy Centrum—during the first half of 2026. This expansion is part of a strategic business model transformation focused on growing its franchise ecosystem.

As part of this shift, the company has transferred 103 of its own Delikatesy Centrum stores to franchisees, exceeding previous targets. Arkadiusz Faliszewski, project head at Eurocash, noted that while local entrepreneurs take over daily operations, the company remains a partner by providing supply and business support.

The group is also successfully attracting partners from competing franchise systems, with 30 percent of new partners coming from other networks. The remaining 70 percent consist of independent retailers joining the group and existing partners opening new locations.
