That is why we intend to have a large number of new store openings across Poland in Q4 2019. It is our desire for Poles to be able to do their holiday shopping in Dino stores comfortably, quickly and close to home, enabling them to spend the time they save with their loved ones”, sums up Szymon Piduch, CEO of Dino Polska S.A.
