Lewiatan is a Polish supermarket chain. It is headquartered in Włocławek. It was fully bought out by corporate group Eurocash in 2011.
History The company was founded in 1994 in Włocławek by Waldemar Nowakowski.
In 1996, a network of franchised stores began to be established, as well as a connection channel between retail and wholesale. At that time, the first agreements were also signed on joint trade, logistics, and purchasing policies. Regional operating structures also began to be established.
In April 2001, PSH Lewiatan began selling its own branded goods. Some goods included juices, preserved goods, as well as flour. Not only did they sell their own groceries, but also chemical goods.
In 2011, polish corporate group Eurocash fully bought out Lewiatan as well as control over 9 out of 16 regional companies. In that same year, Lewiatan underwent a transformation, changing not only their logo, but also the interior and exterior looks of the store. They were first tested on stores in Płock, Sochaczew, and Radom.
In 2016, Lewiatan was featured on the list of top 10 biggest retail chains in Poland.
In 2020, businessman Robert Rękas took over the role as President. Beforehand, he was involved with the company since 2013.
As of 2025, there is a total of 3,286 Lewiatan locations across Poland.
