The “Silpo” chain has added the ability to purchase tickets for concerts, performances, museums, and other events to its mobile app, the company’s press service reported.
The “Experience Box Office” section is located on the app’s home screen and in “My Account”; it features both partner events and those organized by Silpo, including ‘Festirudy’ and “Bragary’s Chicken Circus.” Events can be filtered by city, date, and category, and purchased tickets will be sent to the user’s email.
The press service emphasized that the “Silpo” chain has become the first retailer in Ukraine to integrate such functionality directly into its app.
Silpo-Food LLC, which operates the Silpo chain, was established in early August 2016. According to information on the website, the chain operates 310 supermarkets in 60 cities across Ukraine and four Le Silpo delicatessens: in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Odesa.
The founder of the LLC is Retail Capital, a closed-end, non-diversified venture corporate investment fund (100%, Kyiv). The ultimate beneficiary is Volodymyr Kostelman.
Silpo-Food’s revenue for 2025 increased by 13.97% compared to 2024, reaching UAH 106.013 billion, while net profit amounted to UAH 1.205 billion, compared to UAH 154.1 million for the same period the previous year.
It is part of the Fozzy Group, a commercial and industrial group with more than 825 retail outlets throughout the country. The company operates retail chains of various formats: Silpo supermarkets, Fozzy wholesale hypermarkets, Fora neighborhood stores, Thrash! discounters, Bila Romashka pharmacy supermarkets, and E-ZOO pet stores.
Starting May 12, Ukrzaliznytsia JSC is launching the ability to purchase commuter tickets via its app nationwide, the company announced on Telegram on Tuesday.

“Because of the war, many Ukrainians forgot to bring with them or lost these documents after enemy shelling. That is why it is important to digitalize education documents. This way they will always be with you in your smartphone,” the agency said in the “Telegram channel”.
According to the message, in the app will be available documents of basic secondary education, complete general secondary education, vocational (vocational-technical) education, vocational higher education and higher education (scientific degree).
“The government has already supported the relevant decree. Our team together with the Ministry of education and the State tax service begins to work on the development,” – wrote the Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of digital transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov in his “Telegram channel”.
