Lenta opens a hypermarket in Tomsk
St Petersburg, Russia, 25 November 2022: Lenta (MOEX: LENT, LSE:
LNTA), one of the largest multi-format retail chains in Russia, has
opened a hypermarket at 13 Yelizarovykh St. in Tomsk.
The hypermarket boasts a total area of 9,570 sq m, with a sales
area of 5,279 sq m. It features a convenient parking lot for 374
vehicles and has 33 checkout counters, including seven
self-checkouts. The hypermarket is owned by the Company.
Operating on a 24/7 basis, the hypermarket provides an
assortment of over 26,000 SKUs tailored to the needs of local
customers. Alongside products offered nationwide and Lenta's
private labels, customers can choose from more than 20 local
brands.
The store layout is convenient for daily shopping, big weekly
stock-ups, and impulse purchases. The product display is conducive
to quick shopping missions, with a short shopping path in place for
those on the go. The hypermarket offers customers small and
convenient shopping baskets. Lenta's customers can also purchase a
hot pizza, grilled chicken, and fast-food items. Over 800 SKUs in
the store's assortment are Lenta's own production.
The hypermarket features a variety of innovative solutions, such
as contrast and accent lighting, an open-concept information desk,
and a new facade design. It has an expanded area for online order
picking, a warm area for storing trolleys, and more space for
displaying promotional products.
Vladimir Sorokin, Lenta CEO, commented:
"The new store is a modern retail space with a wide product
offering. Thanks to competitive prices and our loyalty program,
residents and guests of Tomsk can receive additional benefits for
the purchase of exactly those goods for which they come to Lenta's
stores."
This is the first hypermarket Lenta has opened in 2022 and its
255th overall.
The hypermarket previously located at 13 Yelizarovykh St. in
Tomsk was the target of an arson fire, which took place on 21
December 2021. After the fire detection and extinguishing systems
went off, customers and staff were safely evacuated, so no one was
injured in the incident. The fire fully destroyed the sales floor,
as well as products and other property. The staff were redeployed
to Lenta's other stores, with more than half of them returning to
the hypermarket after reopening.
The hypermarket was insured in line with Lenta's standard
practice.
