  • Greenman Energy exceed 20,000 Customers and 2.2 GWh of Energy

    As of 12 October 2026, Greenman Energy's charging network has served 20,479 unique customers and delivered more than 2.2 GWh of energy through its charging points, across sites in Greenman OPEN's grocery portfolio.
    The timing is worth noting. Germany’s Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt reported a record 34.5% battery-electric share of new cars in September, with 88,599 registrations, almost double a year ea

  • Turning Data into Action in Grocery Real Estate

    Emissions across Greenman OPEN's grocery-anchored portfolio have fallen by c. 27% over four years, and the EV charging infrastructure Greenman Energy has installed on those sites has paid for itself, delivering 893,445 kWh across 32,108 charging sessions in the past 12 months. Both results sit at the centre of an editorial by Carmen Sitz, CEO of edyfi, and Johnnie Wilkinson, CEO of Greenman Group,

  • Poland's Rental Growth Potential

    Of all the primary grocery real estate markets in our Signals to Savour research, Poland offers the longest runway for rental growth – and the reason comes down to a quirk in how its leases are structured.
    Polish grocery rents are indexed to the eurozone HICP rather than domestic Polish inflation. That's a technical detail almost everywhere else, but in Poland it creates a genuine structural g

  • The Channel That Didn't Disrupt Grocery Retail

    Across Europe's largest grocery markets, e-commerce still hasn't become the threat to physical retail that it did in other categories. In Germany, online grocery sits at roughly 0.4% of the market. In France and Spain, our Signals to Savour research found the channel continuing to struggle for a real foothold against strong in-store preference. In Italy, it has gained traction mainly among younger

  • Audit and AGM: further update

    We said we'd update you this week on the timing of the AGM convening notices. The audit is not yet signed off, so we're not in a position to issue them today.
    We know this is a further delay on top of what we flagged last week, and we're sorry for the continued wait.
    Where things stand:
    The audit remains with our independent auditors and is not yet complete. We'll issue the convening n

  • Signals to Savour: what European grocery real estate looked like through the inflation shock

    Food inflation in Germany hit 12.7% through 2022 and 2023, and the natural assumption was that grocery tenants were under pressure. However, the data says the opposite - headline inflation ran at roughly half that rate, and because rents index to the general price level while grocery turnover moves with food prices, tenants' occupancy costs actually fell. France and Spain followed the same pattern

  • Greenman Germany: Real Estate Management Under a New Name

    Two of the Group's real estate businesses are becoming one. GFORM and White Bird are merging to form Greenman Germany, a new, closely aligned sister company to Greenman Poland.
    The two businesses bring genuinely complementary strengths: GFORM's expertise in commercial and tenant relationship management, and White Bird's specialisation in technical real estate management. Together, they create
