Prouza: No room for a Polish food chain
Interview with Tomáš Prouza, President of the Union of Trade and Tourism. While some Czechs continue to go to Poland for cheap food, Slovaks will no longer have to. Polish chain Biedronka is entering the local market and there is speculation that it is eyeing the Czech Republic as well. They wouldn’t stand a chance here, thinks “the boss of the shopkeepers” Tomas Prouza. The Polish chain Biedronka, known for its favourable pricing policy, is currently trying its luck in Slovakia.

Biedronka to hit market hard, state forgets risks that come with it, says head of retailers’ alliance
A fresh analysis of the price trends of basic foodstuffs has revealed that the government is considering setting up a website to compare the prices of food sold at retail. How do you see this? We don’t have any further information on this at the moment, so it is difficult to comment. It is not clear how the data would be collected. I expect that the state will approach us about this or will want to discuss it.
