At the beginning of the year, two fires broke out in quick succession in the upper part of Lower Silesia, Poland, targeting buildings owned by major retail chains—Dino and Biedronka. The first fire occurred in mid-January, followed by a second in early February, raising alarms among local residents. Authorities have confirmed that the fire at Dino was caused by an electrical malfunction, while the cause of the Biedronka fire remains undetermined.

The timing and the nature of these incidents have sparked numerous conspiracy theories among locals who are questioning whether these fires were mere accidents or the result of malicious intent. Many believe that it is suspicious for two supermarkets to go up in flames almost simultaneously. Speculations range from suggestions of foul play by unscrupulous competitors to the possibility of an arsonist or organized crime involvement in the area.

As local residents continue to voice their suspicions, the authorities are likely to face increased pressure to thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding these fires. The implications of such theories could have wider repercussions for the retail environment in Lower Silesia, potentially altering public trust towards these major supermarkets and impacting their operations. Community discourse around these events reflects broader concerns about competition and safety in the marketplace.
