Poland's stock market welcomed a new player as CVC, a European private-equity firm, listed a third of Zabka's shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange on October 17th, valuing the convenience store chain at 21.5 billion zlotys ($5.5 billion). With over 10,500 outlets, Zabka serves nearly half of Poland's population, making it a popular choice for quick shopping needs, such as running out of milk on a Sunday morning. This listing has provided a much-needed boost to Poland's struggling bourse.
