FRESH PRODUCTS EVERY DAY

In Poland, Biedronka is the largest Food Retail chain in the country. It has 15 Distribution Centres, with an area of more than 360,000 sqm, which ensure high efficiency of supplies to around 2,700 stores in over 1,000 cities and towns throughout the country.

The fleet operates more than 1,000 delivery lorries and is regularly replaced with the most recent European emission compliant models. Straight from the trailers, fresh products make their way to store shelves. Biedronka was the first chain in Poland to introduce the food safety management system ISO 22000, which concerns food safety during the storage and distribution processes.
