Information on the value of the sale and the buyer's entity was not disclosed.

The buyer has plans to refresh some of the acquired assets and re-commercialize them.


"This transaction confirms that established retail formats, located in central, convenient locations, which can be acquired at attractive pricing, will continue to be the subject of transactions", Michał Cwikliński, Principal, Managing Director at Avison Young in Poland, comments on the transaction.

On legal matters, the seller was advised by Dentons.
