Small local grocers in the Czech Republic saw little change in 2025, with sales slightly dropping to CZK27.2 billion. This decline does not reflect a broader economic recovery because Czech households' financial situations have improved, supported by 2% GDP growth and steady 2% inflation in 2025. Instead, the decrease is mainly due to fewer outlets, as larger retailers continue to expand their presence in both cities and rural regions, gradually squeezing out smaller local stores.

Country Reports Disclaimer
Small Local Grocers
Small local grocers are mostly independent retail outlets (with a selling space of under 400 square metres), kiosks, market stalls or street vendors, owned by families and/or run on an individual basis, and with a primary focus on selling food/beverages/tobacco and other groceries. Small local grocers also includes ethnic grocery stores that specialize in foreign brands and food types, health food stores, confectioners/newsagents/tobacconists (CTNs), food & drink souvenir stores, legally registered mobile shops that are run out of a truck, and regional specialty stores. Retail sales from farmers markets, farms, vineyards, or similar producers are also included in small local grocers. Outlets located within wet markets in Southeast Asia (often located in government-owned multi-story buildings) should be counted as separate outlets.
