Tesco left Poland in 2020 because its Polish operations were struggling with market challenges, including intense competition from discount stores like Biedronka and Lidl, declining revenues, and difficulties gaining sufficient market share despite 25 years of presence, leading them to sell to Salling Group to refocus on stronger Central European markets like the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia.
