Froo
Froo is a story of how success can be packaged for travel. The Polish retailer Żabka Group created this international chain of convenience stores (50–70 sq m) specifically for Romania, bringing the DNA of the legendary Żabka to a new market.A compact format, but with character: quick shopping, thoughtful convenience and the Froo Bistro concept, where the morning begins with hot coffee and snacks, while the shelves combine own brands with local favourites.
Bringing a successful model to a new market means more than simply opening stores in another country. A shopper in Bucharest should feel the same comfort and modernity as a customer in Warsaw. And the sense of a space begins with light.
For the Froo brand, we developed lighting solutions that maintain a consistent look across every location, from the shop window to the Bistro area. The Polish lighting manual was adapted to Romanian standards so that the brand would be recognisable from the store’s very first day. Implementation on the local market was carried out by our partner ProfiLight Group, with AVA TECH luminaires at the core of the solution.
