Focus Estate Fund is pleased to announce the extension of its partnership with Carrefour, one of the anchor tenants, at Galeria Sandomierz in Poland. This confirms Carrefour’s commitment to the shopping centre, where it has been present since 2009.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that Carrefour at Galeria Sandomierz is the sole supermarket in Sandomierz, underscoring its importance as a convenient and reliable grocery destination for local residents.
“We’re excited to expand the lease with such well-known international brand. The recent renewal of the lease by Carrefour for a period of 5 years underscores the strong performance of the shopping center. Carrefour aligns well with our concept, leading to a nearly 5% year-to-date increase in turnover. achievement showcases our careful tenant selections, streamlined inventory management, facility enhancement investments, and our adoption of innovative digital marketing tactics. Over the past year, we have substantially strengthened our tenant mix by welcoming renowned brands such as Dealz and Pepco, including the renovation of CCC into its new concept. We are profoundly grateful to WhiteStar, and signing this contract is a testament to their outstanding work.” – commented Maxim Shkolnick, General Partner of the Focus Estate Fund.
