Hruška
We helped the owners of Hruška, spol. s r.o. organize the sale of a major Czech grocery retail chain. The transaction also included subsidiaries focused on bakery production, real estate management, and franchise network operations.
Our task
The sellers goal was to find an investor with the best prospects for ensuring the company's further development and strengthering its position in the Czech retail market.
Results
The selected investor in the sale process was the Oriens fund, which,through the acquisition the Hruška group, significantly strengthened the position of the newly formed group in the independent retail market in the Czech Republic.
