Tesco opens modernized store in Čerčany with sustainable solutions

Tesco has unveiled its newly modernized store in Čerčany, marking the first major refurbishment of the year as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance its retail network. The renovation introduces a refreshed shopping environment, sustainable technologies, and improvements for both customers and employees.

The Čerčany store has undergone a complete transformation, including updated furniture, shelving, and signage, along with a new façade and logo. A key focus of the refurbishment was the fresh food section, where fruit, vegetables, and baked goods have been reorganized for greater convenience. The store has also implemented environmentally friendly refrigeration systems using CO₂ gas and installed doors on refrigerators to significantly reduce energy consumption.

As part of the modernization, the checkout area now features the Scan&Shop system, which allows for faster and more convenient transactions. Employee facilities have also been upgraded to create a more comfortable working environment. The store currently employs 23 staff members, supported by 17 temporary workers.

At the reopening ceremony, Tesco ČR CEO Katarína Navrátilová emphasized the company’s commitment to community engagement. To mark the occasion, Tesco donated CZK 50,000 to the DRáČe – Dětská radost Čerčany organization, which supports children and young people. Additionally, surplus food from the store will be regularly donated to the Food Bank Central to assist those in need.

Local officials and company representatives attended the reopening, including Čerčany Mayor Michal Tupý, DRáČe director Jana Reichelová, and Tesco executives Navrátilová, Patrik Dojčinovič (Chief Operating Officer), and Artur Beňa (Store Manager).

To celebrate the reopening, Tesco is offering a 10% discount on all purchases for Clubcard holders from February 26 to March 4. In the following weeks, the store will introduce additional promotions on selected product categories.

With its modernized layout and energy-efficient solutions, the Čerčany store aims to enhance the shopping experience while promoting sustainability and community engagement.
