"The plan for starting up new shops is moving faster than we expected," admits Dariusz Miłek, the president of CCC Management. "We plan to open 35 new stores in Poland and at least five in the Czech Republic. On Saturday we opened one in Ostrava, today in Karlove Vary. We have the best speed in Europe as to retail shops."
Miłek says that once the company is satisfied with its results in the Czech Republic, it will consider further expansion on other European markets. "It cannot be excluded that the next market would be the German one," he says.
Last year CCC increased its turnover by 13.52 percent and its market share went up by 1.39 percent. Although the company seems to be pretty active outside Poland - it also opened a production and trade office in China - exports account for just 0.96 percent of the firm's sales structure.
