June the 3rd, 2021 - The well known Croatian food outlet Zabac has opened its very first megastore in the City of Zagreb as the brand's popularity continues to increase.

As Poslovni Dnevnik/Sergej Novosel Vuckovic writes, less than one year after the opening of the last and then largest branch (July the 1st, 2020 in Travno, covering 400 square metres), the only Croatian food chain at outlet prices, Zabac Food Outlet, has opened its seventh and largest store in the Croatian capital of Zagreb.

Across from the Dubec tram turnaround in Dubrava, the Croatian food outlet Zabac (Mega Zabac Food Outlet) covering an area of ​​about 600 square metres in total, started officially operating. It is this company's first megastore, offering more than 1000 items in three categories - rock, stock and breakage, at prices often drastically reduced by as much as 90 percent.

It's worth noting that these are products from both Croatian and foreign brands that are either getting close to their expiration date, became surplus during production, or were those that became damaged when in the factory. The range offered by the Croatian food outlet Zabac changes almost daily, depending on stock availability and arrival from factories.

"The most popular are sweets, snacks and cured meat products," stated the owner of Zabac, Mario Zamboki, when asked about the most sought-after items in his food outlets.

In the Croatian food outlet Zabac located in Dubrava, twenty people found a job (reaching a total of 80 employees across seven of the country's stores), including two girls with special needs, who will fill bottles with popular Labud detergent, soap or fabric softener, for a detergent machine that only exists in Zabac.

Zamboki can freely state that he can't complain about the way in which business is going, but he still points out one thing: "We're solid in life, but a lot of us are hampered when everything is closed down," he stated, insisting that Zabac will not open on Sundays, in other words he supports banning the work of shops on that day, which has been a controversial topic for some time now.

At the Euromonitor 2018 competition, the Croatian food outlet Zabac won the award for innovation in the food category, for a new concept in retail, right behind the Chinese and global giant, the online Alibaba store.

As Sergej Novosel Vuckovic/Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 10th of September, 2019, the newly opened Žabac food store offers an assortment of products in three categories - ''rok'' (shelf life) as stock which is soon to reach its expiration date, ''štok'' (stock) which includes groceries which come in large quantities that cannot be sold in standard stores, and ''lom'', which are items that are somewhat ''broken'' or cracked, but are otherwise perfectly fine to be consumed by humans.

The already very well known Zagreb Food Outlet, Žabac, sells food and household supplies at affordable prices, reduced by up to 90 percent, depending on its durability, condition and quantity, has opened a new store today.

The 170-square-metre building on Nemčićeva street near Nama on Kvaternik's square (Kvaternikov trg) is the third Žabac store in the City of Zagreb. Its opening at its new location saw the closure of the very first Žabac store, which operated at the beginning of Tkalčićeva street in the very heart of Zagreb for many years, because the space had become too small.

Ten new people will work in the new Žabac store, including a young man with special needs, which makes Žabac a company with a strong social responsibility in terms of doing business, taking into account the inclusiveness of citizens who, through no fault of their own, often find getting a job more difficult than usual.

Žabac's offer in its new store, which makes up three different categories of products and has been described above, changes day by day, as do the prices, which vary from 50 to very welcome 90 percent discounts.

Žabac received an award from the London-based global research firm Euromonitor International for its concept as a food outlet last year, as an example of a project being implemented in the world trade sector.

In the Grocery (Commerce) category, Euromonitor ranked Žabac right behind the global giant - the wildly popular Alibaba online store.
