- Dino, a Polish retail chain, closed one of its oldest stores in Gostyń on July 4th after 17 years of operation.

- Despite this closure, Dino continues to expand and operates six other stores in Gostyń.
A Dino supermarket in Gostyń, located on Poznańska street, has closed its doors permanently after 17 years of operation. The store's final day of business was Saturday, July 4th.
Customers had noticed a significant sell-off of merchandise starting approximately two weeks before the closure. Initially, discounts focused on household chemicals, pet food, and home goods. In the days leading up to the closure, promotions were extended to include food products as well.
Dino is recognized as one of Poland's fastest-growing retail chains, frequently opening new locations, particularly in smaller towns. The closure of the Poznańska street store does not signify a withdrawal from Gostyń; the chain maintains six other active markets within the city. The most recent of these opened in April on Wrocławska street, with two Dino stores now situated roughly a kilometer apart.
The decision to close the Poznańska street market is part of Dino's ongoing network optimization. Reports indicate that the building housing the now-closed store is privately owned, and the lease agreement was not renewed by the Dino chain, according to the property owner.
