As of the end of this year, Billa Slovakia will have added 34 stores to its portfolio, including 10 new supermarkets and 24 renovated stores, bringing its total to 252 outlets.
This includes 182 Billa supermarkets and 70 Viva Billa forecourt outlets.
Commenting on the new openings, Marek Kravjar, spokesperson for Billa Slovakia, said, “Each new or renovated Billa store offers a modern environment, fast and comfortable service, and at the same time reflects the needs of local communities and current trends in retail.”
Most of the new and renovated stores typically range from 850 square metres to 1,200 square metres in size.
National Expansion
In the west of the country, two new stores (in Sky Park and Karlova Ves) opened in Bratislava, alongside four renovations, including the largest Billa in Slovakia, which now features an expanded delicatessen, self-service hot counter, salad bar, and a sushi bar, among other features.
New stores also opened in Hamuliakovo and Tomášov, with renovations in Miloslavov, Senec, Nitra, Trnava, Trenčín, and Šala.
In northern and central Slovakia, new stores have opened in Martin and Žilina. The Žilina outlet, located in the Klokan shopping centre, spans nearly 2,000 square metres.
A new store opened in Žiar nad Hronom, while renovations were completed in Zvolen and two Banská Bystrica stores.
In the south of the country, meanwhile, the Novohrad region has seen the opening of three modernised supermarkets and a brand new store in Lučenec. Store renovations were also completed in Veľký Krtíš and Poltár.
In eastern Slovakia, stores in Rožňava and Košice are undergoing renovations.
Viva Billa
Billa’s reach extends beyond traditional supermarkets through its partnership with OMV petrol stations, which are home to Viva Billa stores across Slovakia.
Billa is also leveraging the Wolt delivery service in 19 Slovakian cities to offer customers up to 7,000 SKUs from 41 Billa supermarkets.
Looking ahead, Kravjar said that he expected the business to report “similar dynamic growth” in 2026.
