Action opens first store in Croatia in Sesvete
Zagreb, 11 March 2025 – Action, the non-food discounter, is opening its first store in Croatia today in the city of Sesvete. Croatia is the fifteenth country in which Action operates.
From today, residents of Sesvete and other visitors can enjoy the Action Formula: 6,000 good-quality and increasingly sustainable products in 14 categories (ranging from Laundry & Cleaning and Personal Care to Toys & Entertainment, Do-It-Yourself or Garden & Outdoor) at the lowest price. Action introduces 150 new products every week, ensuring a relevant assortment. More than two-thirds of our sold products are priced below €2.
Hajir Hajji, CEO of Action, explains: “We are truly excited to open our very first Action store in Croatia today. With this important milestone, we are proud to bring the unique Action formula to Croatian customers and introduce them to our surprising assortment at the lowest prices. Opening in Sesvete marks the beginning of our journey in Croatia, and it is only the first step towards making the Action experience available to many more Croatian communities in the years to come. I would like to thank everyone who has worked with great dedication and passion to make this opening possible. Our success is built on the commitment of our teams.”
