Plaisio has won the Retailer of the Year title for the third time at this year’s Retail Business Awards, the top distinction of the unique institution for retail trade in Greece. This award recognizes the company’s overall trajectory, its strong market presence, innovation, growth, and the trust it has earned from consumers. Similar distinctions were received in 2014 and 2021.
Plaisio wins Retailer of the Year award – A milestone year
The recognition as Retailer of the Year comes following a particularly dynamic period. In 2024, the year Plaisio completed 55 years of presence in Greek business, the company made strategic investments in developing its network. The “Plaisio experience” is now lived by residents of Ioannina, as an ultra-modern store with renewed identity opened its doors in the heart of the city, while last November, the chain’s largest store began operations at the Athens International Airport commercial park.
With the primary goal of further improving consumer experience, the company also proceeded with 6 store renovations across Greece. This year, the strengthening of the store network continues, with the upcoming addition of a new store in Melissia, while the new retail identity will be implemented in even more stores.
Plaisio: Commitment to society and the future
A common denominator in every recognition is the company’s people who are behind every success. Plaisio continuously invests in them, something that was recognized by Great Place to Work Hellas for another year, as it won 7th place on the relevant list for 2025 and 1st place on the list for women in Greece.
An integral part of the company’s operation is the continuous expansion of its social footprint, with programs such as the annual educational robotics competition “Plaisiobots: The Race” which this year sent the winning team to the University of San Diego. Additionally, the collaboration of Plaisio’s volunteer team, “Plai sou” (By your side), with +pleusis has equipped 43 schools on 15 islands in recent months.
Plaisio, in addition to the top distinction at the Retail Business Awards, received five more awards in the categories of E-Retailers, Retail Stores – Electrical/Electronics for the Athens International Airport store, Social Media Retail Strategy, Retail Campaign and CSR Retail Strategy.
