Knihobot is expanding and moving into a new industrial space in Prague’s Hostivař

Knihobot, the fast-growing eshop store selling second-hand books, is expanding its capacity and relocating to new warehouse premises at Logicor Prague Průmyslová in Prague’s Hostivař district. The long-term lease of a 10,400 sq m Big Box facilitywas brokered by Savills, with Knihobot set to move in from January 2026.

“We ship over 7,000 parcels a day, and this year we expect around 10 million books to pass through Knihobot. To keep up with demand, we had to increase our capacity and relocate some of our operations. The new hall will serve as a distribution centre for all markets, and we will gradually equip it with automation,” says Ladislav Bárta, CEO of Knihobot.

On Knihobot, customers from the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Austria, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and Belgium can sell their books, while people from all over the world can buy them. In recent years, the company’s turnover has grown from tens to hundreds of millions of CZK, and this year it is expected to reach up to one billion CZK. Thanks to these results, Knihobot can also afford premium premises – the new hall is the most easily accessible unit over 10,000 sq m in Prague by public transport.

“We are pleased that Knihobot has chosen our premises, which were designed for dynamic urban supply chains and last-mile delivery. The location provides excellent connectivity not only to public transport but also to the main Czech highways,” adds Alžběta Pastrnková, Asset Manager at Logicor.

“For Knihobot, accessibility was the decisive factor. The new distribution centre will therefore ensure not only efficient distribution of books, but also convenient access for employees. With its location, the Hostivař hall represents an ideal solution,” adds Jana Čožíková, Associate, Industrial Agency at Savills.

“We have over 1,000 employees, and students makeup the vast majority of our team. That’s why we make every effort to support them, whether by offering flexible four-hour shifts, providing a modern and welcoming workplace, or ensuring convenient access by public transport,” concludes Ladislav Bárta.
