Studenac is a retail chain established in 1991 in Omiš, southern Croatia.

Since EI’s investment in 2018, when the company launched a comprehensive business transformation marked by numerous acquisitions and countrywide organic growth, the company has become Croatia’s largest food retailer by number of stores. Studenac embarked on its international expansion in 2024, when it entered neighboring Slovenia.

The company prides itself on having convenient and accessible stores that meet all of its customers’ daily needs – a brand philosophy that is summed up well by Studenac’s motto, “I sitno i bitno” (small and essential).
