Foxtrot reopens 11 stores and prepares a new warehouse іn August
The company continues operational activities in wartime conditions and implements peacetime processes. In particular, we are talking about a gradual return to the pre-war scale of the network at the expense of stores that were temporarily closed or transferred to the format of online ordering points
Currently, the retailer operates 111 operating stores in 65 cities of the country.
Oleksiy Zozulya, the executive director of the Foxtrot, says, that the restoration of the full operation of each of the chain's stores is the result of painstaking teamwork, a significant event for the company and customers. Especially for residents of small towns, where Foxtrot was almost the only hardware store. "That's why we are gradually recovering and continue to work where it is possible in view of safety," – said Oleksiy Zozulya.
During the first half of August, 6 stores was resumed in such cities as Vyshneve, Izmail, Pavlograd, the third store in Zaporizhzhia (64 Peremogy Str.) and Rivne (67a Kyivska Str.). The capital's Foxtrot at 68a Holosiivskyi Ave. became fully operational, it functioned for several months as a delivery point for online purchases.
By the end of the month, 5 more stores are scheduled to open: in the city of Lubny, Korosten, Pryluky, Boryspil and the fourth store in Kryvyi Rih (200 years of Kryvyi Rih Str. 7d).
In addition, CEO Foxtrot said, the company has started construction of a new warehouse, which will become the main and only logistics core of the company. Its area will be 22,000 square meters, the location is in the Kyiv region, and it is scheduled to be put into operation already this fall.
– Our new warehouse – modern and spacious – is almost at the finish line. This is a project, the implementation of which we considered even before the war. And, no matter how sad it is to realize this fact, it was external circumstances that became the driving force in its launch right now, – Oleksiy Zozulya concluded.
We will remind, as a result of the hostile actions of russian terrorists, the central warehouse of the company, which was located in Gostomel, completely burned down. For several months, the retailer operated warehouses in Lviv, Dnipro and Kyiv region. At the beginning of June, a decision was made about the need to reform the warehouse infrastructure.
