Sklavenitis is making a major strategic move into organized dining and ready-to-eat meals, with a multi-pronged investment plan targeting 20262027. The first pilot stores are expected to open in early 2026, utilizing 27 former Spitiki Koukina locations. The new chains branding and operational model are still under review, and the original name may not be retained.
A cornerstone of this strategy is the new ready-meals production unit in Magoula, an investment exceeding 100 million, scheduled to be fully operational in the second half of 2026. The facility will have a production capacity of up to 250,000 portions per day, supporting both in-store and external distribution, as well as the companys upcoming standalone retail points.
In parallel, Sklavenitis is developing The FoodHall at the former Pitsos factory in Rentis, a 50,000 m² multi-purpose space centered on a supermarket, complemented by multiple dining options and experiential zones. This project represents an investment of over 150 million, with completion expected in early 2027.
The group treats ready-to-eat meals not as a supplementary category but as a strategic growth platform, with management betting on the continued expansion of this market.
On the international front, Poland is identified as a potential market for expansion, with a decision expected within approximately two years, after the completion of the major domestic investments.
In conclusion, 2026 will serve as a testing year for autonomous dining, while 2027 is set to be a turning point with the opening of The FoodHall.
