ABOUT POLONEZ
Frequently asked questions
Eastore is the only franchise of its kind in Ireland, focused on Eastern European and multicultural retail. Unlike other Eastern European franchise models, Eastore is made, managed, and operated in Ireland — which means we have our hand on the pulse of local market needs. We offer custom product ranges, real-time data access, and frequent, flexible deliveries - all backed by over 20 years of trusted Polonez experience.
There is a one-time franchise entry fee, with flexible options for equipment and shelving investment — you can either handle it or let us take care of it. Franchisees also pay a royalty fee for using the Eastore brand and marketing support. Plus, you’ll benefit from product-based rebates, helping improve profitability.
We’re looking for current store owners or entrepreneurs with retail experience who are passionate about exceptional customer service and ambitious to grow within a supportive, trusted retail network.
Thanks to our piece-by-piece delivery model, you can stock a broad range of products without needing large storage space. Frequent deliveries across all categories keep shelves full and the shop floor efficient — perfect for smaller stores.
Yes, from day one. We support you with store layout, equipment planning, and setup. You'll receive full access to our Operational Manual, staff training, marketing materials, and a live performance dashboard with store insights and sales data.
