For this reason, as acompany, we decided to financially support the institutions that play a strategic role in solving the problems that concern us all”, said Tomasz Suchański, president of Żabka Polska.

Faced with the development of COVID-19, Żabka introduced a number of solutions for its franchisees, store staff, as well as employees in offices and logistics centers to increase their security and prevent the virus from spreading. The stores have shorter opening hours, franchisees received disinfectants and gloves, plexiglass dividers have been installed to separate cashiers from customers. Franchisees can also specify the number of shoppers that can be present in their stores at any given time. The hygiene regime in logistics centers was increased. 

“Thanks to the responsibility and commitment of over 4.5 thousand franchisees, employees of stores, logistics centers, and offices, we were able to quickly implement the changes recommended by the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate and other institutions appointed for this purpose in these challenging conditions. I would like to thank everyone for working together so that we can continue to provide customers with their daily shopping”, added president Suchański.
