Officials at Metro declined to comment on why Metro had put the expansion of its Real chain in Poland on hold.
However, a spokesperson said the country, where Metro has over 150 stores in different formats, “offers excellent prospects for the future”.
“Poland’s favourable geographic location makes it highly sought after as a location for international investors,” the spokesperson said. “Poland combines not only the largest labour force in central Europe, but also the largest market, with 38 million consumers – ranking eighth in Europe and 30th in an international comparison.”
