We have existed since 1948 and for 70 years we have been providing for Polish customers products related to culture, knowledge and entertainment. During this time, we managed to win the leading position in the sale of publishing categories. We offer tens of thousands of books, music discs, films, multimedia games, magazines, artistic and creative articles and stationery, educational toys, board games as well as tickets for various events in 250 salons.
An inseparable part of Empik is our online store, which was established in 1998. Every day empik.com is visited by millions of people who can choose from over 1.5 million products – both from the category traditionally associated with Empik and new ones (ie Electronics, Home and Garden, Child or Health and Beauty).

We influence the cultural landscape of Poland through various initiatives promoting reading and good literature. Each year, we organize more than 1,600 events in our salons – meetings with authors, concerts, exhibitions, and creative workshops that gather hundreds of thousands of people.
