Online supermarket Rohlik Group’s turnover reached CZK 17.8 billion in 2023, a year-on-year growth of 25 percent. In the Czech Republic, the company’s sales grew by 18 percent. Tomáš Čupr, the company’s founder and CEO said today. He did not give the financial result. In addition to the Czech Republic, Rohlik Group also operates in Hungary, Austria, Germany, Romania, Spain and Italy.
“We have enough finances to be profitable as a group, which will happen this year,” Čupr said. The company is now profitable in the Czech Republic and Hungary. He did not specify the amount of profit in the Czech Republic. Within a year of launching the new automation, Rohlik said it had reached profitability in Munich. In 2024, the group will continue to invest significantly in automation technology and expand it further in Berlin and Vienna.
At Rohlik, more than 80,000 customers placed 11.5 million orders in 2023. According to Chupro, the company aims to achieve strong financial performance in every market where it operates and to create a business model that is efficient and replicable. “Rohlik is already approaching a tipping point in every market where it operates. And it is currently targeting an annual turnover of over one billion euros, about CZK 25 billion, with positive cash flow for the 2024 financial year,” said Čupr.
Rohlik, he said, provides one of the widest and most diverse ranges available in the online grocery shopping market, from fresh food from local farmers and producers to supermarket goods from popular brands. It offers 15-minute delivery windows and same-day and one-hour delivery from ordering, he said.
Rohlik Group, which was founded in 2014, is one of Europe’s leading online-ordered food delivery services. It has become the first Czech company to achieve so-called unicorn status, a company valued at over $1 billion.
