Hruška
We helped the owners of Hruška, spol. s r.o. organize the sale of a major Czech retail grocery chain. The transaction also included subsidiaries focused on bakery production, real estate management, and franchise network operations.
Náš úkol
The objective of the sellers was to find an investor with the best prerequisites to ensure further development of the company and to strengthen the company's position on the Czech retail market.
Výsledek
The selected investor in the sale process was the Oriens fund, which, by acquiring the Hruška group, has strengthened the position of the newly established group in the independent retail market in the Czech Republic many times over. The Oriens Fund thus followed the acquisitions of the Flosman retail chain and the Pramen chain of stores, which it carried out between 2021 and 2023.
