According to local newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza, the sale of the outlets to French retailer E. Leclerc is in a bid to improve the chain’s financial situation and reduce its rapidly growing debt.
Alexandre Soares, chairman of Jeronimo Martins, told the paper that he has not ruled out the possibility of selling more of the company’s property in Poland.
