The Beginnings of Biedronka in Poland
The first Biedronka stores in Poland were established in 1995. One of them was opened in Poznań at Newtona Street, the other in Śrem at Sikorskiego Street. Two years later Jeronimo Martins Polska already had 240 Biedronka stores and that was just the beginning.

Opening Hebe
Shortly afterwards we decided to diversify the Jeronimo Martins portfolio with the cosmetics and pharmaceutical business. The first drugstore Hebe was opened in May 2011 in Warsaw at Aleje Jerozolimskie. Both rapidly developing networks allowed us to spin off the Jeronimo Martins Drogerie i Farmacja company, which includes the drugstores Hebe and Hebeapteki and Apteki Na Zdrowie.

Development perspective – also on another continent
Since 2012, we have also been developing our operations in a completely new area – in Colombia, where we have Ara stores. 2012 was also important for people in Poland, because then we opened the 1500th store of the Biedronka chain in Poznań.

What I appreciate most about Biedronka is the people and the dynamic atmosphere – no two days are ever the same. I find real satisfaction in building a close-knit team and having a genuine impact on how our shops operate every day.
-
What gives me the greatest satisfaction is seeing people develop their skills and gain confidence. As a trainer, I have the opportunity to support employees on their career paths, share my knowledge and help them discover their own potential. I believe that we achieve the best results when we grow together.
-
This programme has changed not only my perspective on the organisation, but also on myself. I’ve gained the confidence that my voice matters – no matter who I’m talking to. Fifteen months of experience in operations, logistics and the supply chain have shown me just how much goes on behind the scenes in our organisation and how much I can contribute.
-
I like working at Biedronka, and as a recruiter I work with almost all departments of the company and meet candidates and managers from different areas every day. I am happy that I have an influence on the selection of professionals who join us. And everything I learn from them broadens my horizons.
-
I am satisfied with my job because I do what I like. I started my adventure as a Salesperson-Cashier, then Biedronka gave me the opportunity to develop and I currently work in a 14-person team that trains employees for various positions. Thanks to this job, I have met many wonderful people with whom I can share my knowledge and experience.
-
The Management Trainee programme allows you to view the company from various perspectives and gain a better understanding of how the entire organisation works. For me, the most valuable part was meeting directors from different departments who had themselves started out as Management Trainees, as their stories showed me that this programme offers real opportunities for development and opens many doors. The relationships with other trainees are also of great value; we grow together, share experiences and can rely on one another even outside of work.
-
We have been working at Biedronka for less than 3 years and this is where we met. We appreciate the wide range of benefits – we are happy to use Multisport or e-code top-ups for shopping.
-
Akcja Operacja was a tremendous opportunity for me to develop and see Biedronka from a completely different perspective. Over the course of 15 months, I gained experience in various areas, got to know people from across the organisation and made a conscious choice about the direction of my future career. Today, I know that this programme really did accelerate my development.
-
For me, satisfaction is everyday contact with people and the smile of a satisfied customer.
