The Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) said that the deal will not result in a “significant restriction of competition” by “creating or strengthening a dominant position in the market.”
The UOKiK also gave its assent to Leclerc’s proposed acquisition of 35 Presspo outlets from Portuguese retailer Jeronimo Martins.
A spokesperson for Leclerc said that Poland represented an “important market opportunity” for the company to expand.
“We were naturally gratified by the news,” the spokesperson said.
