Slovakia's largest bookstore chain Panta Rhei celebrates 35 years in business

Panta Rhei, Slovakia's largest bookstore chain, is marking its 35th anniversary this year. The company was founded by László Bödők, who began selling books at weekend markets and fairs. Originally, Bödők intended to use book sales to raise capital for opening a pasta restaurant, but the book business eventually became his primary focus. The chain has grown from its humble market stall beginnings to operate 60 retail locations across Slovakia.
