Core answer
- COOP Jednota remains Slovakia’s largest domestic grocery network, continuing store modernization and expansion efforts in 2024–2026, including new Tempo and Tempo SUPERMARKET formats and 24/7 automated stores.[1][2]
Key recent developments

A 24/7 automated store program began with the Galanta location and expanded to multiple stores by year-end 2024.[1]
- 24/7 automation and digital push: By late 2024, COOP Jednota had launched several automated, around-the-clock stores and signaled continuing expansion of 24/7 formats in both urban and rural areas in 2025.[1]
- 2025–2026 activity: The organization emphasized ongoing modernization, a broader Tempo SUPERMARKET footprint, and strengthening domestic production support via local suppliers, aligned with the UN’s International Year of Cooperatives in 2025.[1]

- In April 2026, COOP Jednota Trnava opened a new supermarket in Trakoviciach; in the same period, Prievidza’s retail park earned recognition as an Innovator of the Year. These releases highlight continued store openings and accolades within the COOP Jednota network in 2026.[2]
- The COOP Jednota newsroom also shows ongoing activity in 2024–2026 with multiple store openings and modernization projects across Slovakia, indicating a focus on expanding access to modern formats and local product availability.[2]
What this means for customers
