Peter Shaw, Chief Executive of DP Poland said:

'We are on track to cross the 50 stores mark in October, as we drive towards the critical mass that will support national television advertising and further economies of scale in procurement. New store openings in combination with robust like-for-like sales growth increased System Sales by 50% in the first half of 2017. In July and August we saw like-for-like System Sales grow by 24% and 28% respectively.

The twin sales streams of corporate stores and commissary delivered an increase in combined corporate store EBITDA and commissary variable profit of 39%. As our newest stores' sales build and they move into profitability we will see a further uplift in this figure.

Our new commissary opened at the end of August, ahead of schedule, and is now supplying stores to the north, south and west of the country, while our original facility in Warsaw continues to supply the capital city and the east.Our expansion is further underpinned by the robust growth of the Polish economy.'

Our expansion is further underpinned by the robust growth of the Polish economy.'
