About Tesco
In Forum Koszalin Tesco will become the first grocery hypermarket in Koszalin, occupying 7,000 mē located on the ground floor, in the vicinity of shops with reputable national and international brands and with immediate access to the underground parking area. Tesco is one of the largest retail chains in the world and the largest one in Poland, owning more than 3,300 stores in 12 countries worldwide and employing 400,000 people. In Poland Tesco has almost 300 stores of a total area of more than 0,5 million mē with 28,000 employees.
Małgorzata Słowik, Head of Leasing of Multi Development Poland, comments: “A store of such size has been long awaited by the citizens. It is much needed in Koszalin and Tesco will meet the public’s needs in the best possible way due to not only its twenty-four seven accessibility, but also because of its wide range of product offerings. The fact that Tesco is so well-known and popular will definitely draw many customers to the centre”.
Tomasz Matusiak, Managing Director of Multi Development Poland, says: “Tesco is one of the most awaited tenants in Forum Koszalin. The choice of a hypermarket in Forum Koszalin is crucial because such a significant tenant will positively influence the whole centre. I have no doubts that Tesco will become the most often visited large-scale shop in the city. Up to now we have ensured an impressive range of tenants for the centre: Tesco, Castorama, Media Markt, Silver Screen, H&M and Gymnasion. Each one of these brands represents quality that will make Forum Koszalin number one in the whole West-Pomerania region”.
