For over three years, he has run Yoggi Delicatessen, a Polish corner shop that has become a local community hub – not just a retail point, but a small sanctuary for those seeking a taste of home, a warm smile, and a place to be themselves.
It hasn’t been easy. The pandemic, economic uncertainty, shifting trade rules, and rising costs could have halted Yoggi Delicatessen’s growth.
But Paweł didn’t just weather the storm – he built a new foundation on it. He kept the business running, expanded the offer, strengthened the team, and deepened his connection with the local Polish community.
To Paweł, customers aren’t a “target” – they’re guests.
And his staff? They’re family.
Not metaphorically – literally. Two employees have worked with him for nearly a decade. Jubilarians? More like ambassadors of his leadership style: warm, human, and full of responsibility.
His approach to customers? Always personal.
He knows their names, habits, and needs. He helps, advises, and supports.
For many Poles, it’s the first place they go when they miss home – and sometimes, when they need someone to talk to.
But Paweł doesn’t stop at the walls of his shop.
He supports local initiatives, sponsors a football team, regularly donates to charity, and participates actively in Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy (The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity) every year, the biggest Polish charitable event in the world.
His leadership isn’t about managing from above.
It’s about being at the heart – with the people, for the people.
That is why Paweł Suder has been nominated in the Leader Star category – because he managed to turn an ordinary shop into a beacon for his community – a place that shines not with neon lights, but with presence, care, and authentic leadership.
