Biedronka sells mainly local (Polish) products, many of which are manufactured under the company's own label. It also sells some Portuguese-made products, mostly wine.[4] Initially targeted at lower-income customers, it is now one of the most popular supermarket chains in Poland.
Biedronka has had a dominant position in Poland's grocery retail market for more than a decade, and its main competitor in Poland is Lidl. [5]
