By a final and binding decision of May 8, 2024 issued in the case, the District Court in Kielce, 5th Commercial Division, secured the assets of the debtor AMBER Group in liquidation with its registered office in Skarżysko-Kamienna by appointing a temporary court supervisor, whose function will be held by Grzegorz Tu.
What stores did the Auchan franchisee run?
The case became famous when the Auchan store in Kielce went bankrupt, where employees were selling goods for cash on the orders of the company's authorities. On June 11, the crew, i.e. 20 employees, signed the termination of the employment contract due to the employer's fault. Auchan in Galeria Korona in Kielce had been operating since March 7, and the franchisee of the Auchan store filed for bankruptcy on April 25 this year, i.e. a month and a half after the store was launched. There is no court decision on this matter yet.
In turn, Auchan in Ciechanów at Pułtuska 110 operated from mid-July 2023 to the end of April 2024, i.e. 9 months. It employed over 700 sq m. 18 people to serve.
Auchan at the Cuprum Arena in Lublin has been operating since August 2023 and also closed before the end of its first year of operation. Now the store is covered with the banner "We are changing for you. Auchan".
Also in Karolina Park in Rzeszów, things happened at an express pace. On December 21, the store moves into the center and disappears at the end of May.
In this way, the Auchan chain lost 4 franchise outlets in a month. However, the company is considering opening stores with its logo in at least two of the 4 stores vacated by the franchisee.
