The first weeks of operation of the new chain show that the concept of off-price stores turned out to be a great success and met with great interest of customers. Since May 4, we have been visited by over half a million customers. During that time, we opened 13 stores all over Poland. There will be 60 of them by the end of the year, and in the fall we are starting online sales, which shows how dynamically we are developing the new brand, and at the same time how large this logistics project is", says Adam Holewa, President of the HalfPrice Management Board.
