Hi Paulina. Is it OK if I call you Paulina? I know in Poland it’s customary to say Pani.
Hi Carlos, frankly I need to say that I am a huge fan of breaking this imaginary border of Pan/Pani as soon as possible. I truly admire our beautiful language and Polish savoir vivre; however, when you are 28 years old and somebody calls you Pani…bloody hell! do I look that old?
You are the daughter of the founder of City Park Mr Wieslaw Jan Prusiecki. Have you any more brothers and sisters and if so, do they also work at City Park?
I have two beautiful sisters – Asia and Pati and three lovely brothers – Maciek, Krzysiek, and Paweł. We run a family business but not only at City Park. We mostly work in the real estate market.
What is your role at City Park?
In a flash – I am a marketing manager of Grupa Konkret S.A. and City Park is a part of our group. I take care of marketing, communication, and quality of City Park Poznań.
You seem very young. You must have been a teenager when City Park opened, right?
Thanks, Carlos! 😉 Actually, I have not seen City Park being built, I was abroad for a couple of years. When I came back everything was ready to be opened.
It’s no secret that City Park is expensive. I understand that the quality of restaurants is of a very high standard. Some of the best restaurants in the City are found here. Was that the strategy from the beginning?
The strategy is simple: no compromise while talking about health. You are what you eat and we want you to know what is on your plate. That is why we wrote on the wall: “Wiem, co jem”. We give you the food and we are super responsible not only for the taste and how it looks on the plate but also for the origins of each ingredient. As Aldo Gucci said: ” Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.” I can’t say earn money from gastronomy. We invest money to promote our philosophy. Some people understand it, some people do not, but we are here to educate. It is an exceptional effort but at the end of the day, it is worth all that work we do.
So if McDonald’s wanted to rent a unit, would that be OK? 🙂
It would be OK but under my conditions 🙂 Mc Donalds by EightyEightConcept 😉
Whats with the barriers at the entrance to City Park? Can clients not park their cars within the grounds? Or is it a pay and display?
Carlos please … There are no barriers as long as you do not create them yourself. You get 45 minutes of parking for free if this may be a problem.
Lets turn our attention to you. You must be a very busy person. Do you have any free time? Do you have some hobbies for example?
I have whole 8 hours of free time per day. What do I do? … Well … I try to sleep or do something creative instead. I love photography; moreover, the middle of the night is a perfect time to develop pictures in the dark room.
Business meetings tend to end up around a table in a restaurant. Which restaurant do you normally choose at City Park for a business meeting?
I recommend CUCINA Restaurant for business lunches.
What car do you drive?:)
I drive a yellow bike. See me around 🙂
Where is the last place you went on holiday?
Santa Margherita, Italy.
Ski or snowboard?
But mulled wine first.
Android or iPhone?
iPhone!
Latest book you read?
Stephen Tschudi Madsen, “Art Nouveau”.
Favourite Polish film ever?
Can’t decide. Kieślowski or Koszałka documentary films.
Polish guys or English guys? 🙂
I can’t see the world besides one Polish super guy.
Nice! It’s been a pleasure talking with you, until the next time.
Thank you Carlos!
