Żabka and 7R will build a fully automated logistics center near Radzymin, outside Warsaw

Construction of Żabka’s state-of-the-art warehouse, located near Radzymin outside Warsaw, began in mid-January of this year and will continue through 2022. The facility will be equipped with innovative automated solutions that will not only streamline logistics operations for stores and improve service quality for franchisees, but will also be environmentally friendly. As part of the project, a 40-meter-high “high bay” storage section will be constructed. The developer 7R is responsible for the project.

The warehouse is a BTS project, meaning it is being developed to meet the specific needs of the Żabka chain and to optimize all of its logistics operations. The "high bay" section of the building will be four times taller than a standard warehouse, and advanced technological solutions will be used to operate it.

Modern and efficient logistics guarantee our customers the highest quality of fresh products available in-store, while ensuring franchisees receive fast and comprehensive delivery services every day. “The logistics center near Radzymin will provide us with even greater efficiency and the opportunity for further growth,” says Adam Manikowski, Vice President of the Management Board and Managing Director of Żabka Polska.

The new logistics center will feature a large storage capacity. It will house refrigerated storage areas and state-of-the-art systems to support the automation of its logistics processes. The center will be able to handle approximately 5,000 m³ of outgoing goods per day. The building will be equipped with the latest logistics automation technologies, including automated transport, a pallet silo, and Goods-to-Man picking stations, ensuring a several-fold increase in operational efficiency.

Żabka’s new logistics center will incorporate a range of solutions that will enable the facility to fulfill its logistics functions while ensuring low CO2 emissions. The building will be powered by green energy from photovoltaic panels. The project will also utilize special paving stones and anti-smog towers, as well as a graywater system to improve water efficiency.

Construction near Radzymin has already begun, and the facility is scheduled to open in mid-2022. By 2023, the logistics center will be fully equipped with automated systems.

The general contractor for the project is Bremer Sp. z o.o.
