A brilliantly timed and worked deal, says Havrlant about the sale of Mallu. The Poles see it the other way around
The Mall.cz online store and other e-shops of the same name were bought by the Polish group Allegro in 2021. Almost three years after the announcement of the sale of the Mall Group to the Polish company Allegro, the opinions on the transaction on the seller and buyer sides differ sharply. The roughly CZK 23 billion deal, which included online retailers Mall.cz, CZC.cz and carrier WeDo, raised eyebrows at the time, but today the price seems even more exorbitant. The Poles bought Mall Group for its foreign expansion, and the Czech assets paid the price for this strategy.
