50 Years | You & Us, Together

It is with great pleasure that we share our experience of working with Zakcret and Mr. Panagiotis Haikalis.

Our collaboration began in October 2019 with the following stores:

• Volos
• Patras
• Zakcret and Sneaker Cage stores at Golden Hall, in Marousi.

And continued with:

• The Thessaloniki store in August 2020
• The offices in Spata in October 2020
• The Chania store in May 2021
• The warehouse in Spata in June 2021
• The Larissa store in October 2021

It was a great honor for us to be by Zakcret's side throughout their major development journey, which has led them to become the longest-standing sports and sportswear retail chain in Greece.

The collaboration during the construction of all these stores was one of the best our company has had in recent years.

The professionalism and dedication of all Zakcret people involved in the projects were unmatched.

We wish Mr. Panagiotis Haikalis and the entire Zakcret team health, family happiness, continued professional success, and may we always celebrate Zakcret’s great achievements together.

At Endeavor Greece, our mission is to support the country’s fastest-growing companies such as ZAKCRET—to accelerate their growth and multiply their positive impact on society and the economy by creating new jobs and supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Our collaboration over the years has been built on trust, outward thinking, consistency, and a shared vision for growth and contribution. What makes it stand out and remain strong over time is the human-centered approach, integrity in professional relationships, and the continuous pursuit of progress and development.

The journey of ZAKCRET Sports and this 50-year milestone are a living testament to the company’s value and endurance. It is a great honor and joy for us to have contributed to this journey.

We wholeheartedly wish you continued passion and dedication for the next 50 years, and we will be here to support you every step of the way.

Here’s to the next 50 years, because you truly deserve it!

No matter what I say, it won’t be enough—I can’t put into just a few words the appreciation I feel for your team!

I believe anyone who has had the joy of working with you would quickly recognize that you stand out for your Fair Trade principles!

You distinguish yourselves by your ethos, consistency, professionalism, organization, respect for everyone, and above all, your focus on your goals!

Wishing you all good health—everything else will follow!

From the very beginning, we deeply appreciated your professionalism, reliability, and vision. What makes our relationship so strong is the trust and consistency you demonstrate in every joint effort.

Beyond the excellent communication and responsiveness, what truly sets Zakcret Sports apart is your dynamic market approach and adaptability to constantly evolving needs. Your ability to anticipate trends and invest in innovative ideas has helped both our brands grow and reach new levels of success.

We are especially proud that Funky Buddha is part of your story and that we have contributed, even in a small way, to your widely recognized success. We look forward to the next 50 years of successful collaboration!

We share a long-standing history with ZAKCRET and the Haikalis family, dating back to 1977—when the sportswear industry was in its infancy, with only a few brands and stores. This is a partnership built on professionalism, integrity, and consistency, which continues uninterrupted to this day, with deep appreciation for ZAKCRET S.A.

We are happy for your success and growth over the years and proud to be collaborating with you.

We wish you continued success in all your future endeavors.

Dear Timos and Thodoris (to me, you are more than just business partners)

The completion of 50 years of uninterrupted presence by ZAKCRET Sports in the Greek market is not just a milestone—it is living proof of consistency, business ethics, and most of all, mutual evolution.

BODY ACTION has had and continues to have the honor of working with an organization that possesses commercial instinct, strategic foresight, and solid values. ZAKCRET Sports has always been more than just a retail partner to us… It has been a co-traveler in shared visions, a reliable ally in market challenges, and a true supporter of Greek brands.

Our collaboration is built on three constants that have remained intact over time: Trust, transparency, and a shared vision for the future of Athleisure in Greece. From the presence of our products in Zakcret stores to our joint initiatives and development efforts, our relationship is a real “success story” based on people with passion, professionalism, and a clear strategy.

Through the years, you have turned Zakcret into much more than a business—you’ve made it a point of reference. With you, we didn’t just build a partnership. We built mutual appreciation and a meaningful relationship that stands the test of time and continues to grow.

On behalf of the entire BODY ACTION team, I wholeheartedly wish the next 50 years to be even more creative, innovative, and filled with greater success. Thank you personally for the trust and respect you always show to both myself and my team.

Since 2010, a remarkable journey began—a collaboration that gave our company perspective and energy, as Zakcret was and remains a company that embraces new technologies ahead of all others in its sector, and even beyond.

Starting with music and visual management, LCD and LED screens of all kinds, and later on with electronic labels, we’ve reached the present—thanks to excellent cooperation and mutual trust—with 40 modern stores that turn every customer visit into an experience.

From the bottom of our hearts, we wish the entire Zakcret family continued success. May the number of your stores reach 100, and may you always remain true to the founder’s vision—climbing ever higher, with integrity, hard work, and humility.

It is an honor for us to be part of the Zakcret family! Through Zakcret, we’ve grown and become better. Thank you!

In every collaboration, there are moments, decisions, challenges, and victories. But above all, there are the people who give meaning to it all.. With Zakcret, we’ve been walking this path together for 27 years — not just as partners, but as a team, speaking the same language, built on trust and mutual respect.

Because a shared journey isn’t measured only in projects and deadlines. It’s measured in glances that say “I understand you,” in conversations that spark ideas, in handshakes that last for years.

That’s how a true professional relationship is built: not on contracts, but on people who genuinely care.

What we’ve shared has become value. And what we will build together is already a promise.

Reliability, transparency, and direct communication are the key elements that characterize our collaboration and have played a crucial role in sustaining it over time.

To us, ZAKCRET is not just a client or a business partner; it is a true companion on a shared journey of growth and creativity.

In every professional journey, it is worth pausing to look back, reflect on the past, and plan for the future with optimism.

With deep appreciation, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to ZAKCRET as it marks this important milestone.

Our professional relationship began four decades ago, when the company operated just three stores. Since then, we have moved forward together on a steady path of growth, trust, and mutual support.

Today, we look with pride at the nationwide network of stores the company has developed—an achievement that brings us great joy and satisfaction, knowing that we, in our own way, contributed to this long-standing success.

This shared journey stands as proof that healthy partnerships are built on honesty, consistency, and a common vision and goals.

The mutual trust that defines our collaboration continues to lay the foundation for meaningful cooperation and continued progress.

We wholeheartedly wish to continue moving forward together with the same drive and enthusiasm in the years to come, creating new opportunities and achieving even greater successes.

50 years of a journey driven by a family with values, integrity, and an endless passion for creation!

What truly sets them apart and deserves a capital “Η” is the word “Human”, which they always make sure to keep as a top priority.

We’ve been walking this path together for years, building the future for even more “Off The Wall” experiences and achievements!

On the occasion of ZAKCRET's 50th anniversary of successful operation, we would like to express our warmest gratitude for our excellent ten-year partnership.

The professionalism and mutual trust we have built over these years are a valuable foundation for our shared journey.

We are proud to be part of your story and we wholeheartedly wish you many more years of success and growth!
