How would you categorize Dino Polska in this market segment?
If you ask me how I would categorize them (Dino Polska), I'd say they started as a discounter. However, over time, they've evolved more towards a supermarket model, adding more top brands and aiming to be perceived as a high-quality store. I wouldn't confidently label them as a discounter anymore. They're somewhere between a discounter and a convenience store. I don't want to invent a new category for them, but it's a blend of a supermarket and a discount store. How to categorize them exactly, I leave that to you. Some investors prefer clear-cut categories like discounter, supermarket, proximity, or convenience. They started as a discounter, but now, I'd call them a supermarket.

However, in smaller cities or areas close to cities, they (Dino Polska) still have to compete with Biedronka due to their similarities. They have a slight edge over Biedronka because Biedronka is still struggling with non-food items.
