Penta Investments has begun putting into motion its previously announced plans to divest itself of Żabka by selling the majority of Żabka's assets in the Czech Republic. The deal, the value of which has been placed at CZK 1.02 billion, gives control of 81 Żabka franchises and 47 Koruna stores to Tesco, a British supermarket concern. Once the deal is approved by regulators and completed, Tesco will have solidifed its Czech presence through control of most of Żabkas Czech assets.
