Żabka convenience store services

Żabka is the largest network of convenience stores in Poland, serving millions of customers daily. Founded in 1998 in Poznań by entrepreneur Mariusz Świtalski, the brand revolutionized the Polish retail market by introduces compact, local neighborhood stores that provided a wide range of groceries and services. Over the decades, it has evolved into a modern retail ecosystem incorporating advanced digital solutions and autonomous store formats.

While the brand is quintessentially Polish in its operation and history, its ownership has transitioned through several international private equity firms. Currently, the company is owned by CVC Capital Partners, a prominent global private equity firm. Despite the international ownership, the corporate headquarters and decision-making hub remain in Poznań, Poland, ensuring the brand maintains its local market expertise and primary focus on the Polish consumer base.
