The company official added that investment in one store reaches several hundred thousand euro. The company’s network includes 102 units at the moment.
In 2011, Profi has scheduled 25 openings.
Profi was bought in 2009 by Polish private equity firm Enterprise Investors from Belgian retailer Delhaize for EUR66.5 million.
Musial said Enterprise Investors probably won’t sell Profi in the next 3 to 5 years, adding a listing in Warsaw is a plausible scenario.
In 2010, the company posted a loss of 616.5 million lei (EUR147 million), 25% more than in the previous year. (EUR1=RON4.3144)
