The Pietrak Hotel Chain

It all started at the beginning of the 70-ies. Then, a new name, Pietrak, appeared among the entrepreneurs of Gniezno. Initially, Mr. and Mrs. Pietrak took up the champignon production and soon a mushroom growing centre was established on their initiative. The next stage of their activity was developing the food-processing base, the final stage being entering the foreign market. The capital gained in this way the Pietraks decided to invest into an enterprise which would ensure all the family the future and promote the region.
First, a department store was opened in the tenement house bought from the descendants of Bolesław Kasprowicz. As time went by, following the demand on the market, the first catering facilities were started. Jerzy and Elżbieta Pietrak began their new activity with establishing a restaurant in the ground floor of the building. The owners have been emphasising quality ever since then. The elegant interiors and professional service drew clients' attention. Numerous guests were asking about accommodation while visiting the restaurant. The questions encouraged the owners to adapt the adjacent tenement houses and join them together into a hotel and gastronomic facility.
