The 13,000th Żabka store opened last week on Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw. It features over 170 m² of retail space across two levels, where ES SYSTEM K—acting as the project’s refrigeration partner—supplied cutting-edge refrigeration units alongside an innovative water-loop-based cooling system. ➿🐸
The Cool Stream System Hybrid (CSS Hybrid) employed here combines the advantages of water-loop systems and plug-in units. Depending on the system configuration, the heat generated by the units can either be vented outside the building or utilized to heat the sales floor.
What does this mean for the retail industry? Lower energy consumption, the use of waste heat, and greater operational stability for the store.
The 13,000th store clearly illustrates the direction of Żabka’s growth: a commitment to being close to customers, their daily needs, and the rhythm of the city. Modern refrigeration is moving in a similar direction. It is evolving into a hybrid of existing solutions—one that is more flexible, adaptable to specific premises, cost-optimized, and capable of enhancing operational safety.
