Peter Shaw, Chief Executive of DP Poland, said:

“2013 has been a year of substantial progress for the Company as we continue to prove our business model in Poland. We have grown our estate, announced our first sub-franchisee and opened our first stores outside of Warsaw. As sales volumes have grown we have also focussed on growing gross profit margin through improved food costs and we have devised a new store format that delivers significant cost reductions both in fit-out and rent.

Our immediate focus remains on building brand awareness, driving sales, reducing costs and proving the business model. Our roll-out strategy for 2014 will be adjusted accordingly. We will shortly open 2 more stores in Warsaw and Krakow and will take the decision at the mid-year point on further openings, based on store performance. The Board will resume a more aggressive store roll-out once the new S2 store format is proven.”
