The Odessa-based “neighborhood” store chain “Tochka” increased its revenue to 2.7 billion UAH by the end of 2025 and plans to open about 100 more retail locations by the end of 2032, according to the industry publication Retailers.ua.
According to the publication, the chain is demonstrating stable financial performance: while revenue amounted to 2.5 billion UAH in 2023, it declined slightly to 2.3 billion UAH in 2024, but showed growth in 2025. At the same time, the company is growing without taking out loans, relying solely on its own profits, which amounted to 29.8 million UAH in 2025 compared to 33.7 million UAH in 2024.
Currently, the chain has 80 stores in the Odesa and Mykolaiv regions. All of them operate in leased spaces. Plans for 2026 include the launch of seven new stores, specifically in Reni, Okny, and Dachne, as well as the renovation of three existing locations.
“We continue to develop the ‘near home’ format—it is important for us to be close by and convenient for the customer. By the end of 2032, the company plans to launch about 100 more stores and will gradually expand beyond the Odesa region toward central Ukraine,” the retailer’s press service noted.
In its product assortment strategy, the company focuses on everyday essentials, prepared foods, and fresh produce. The chain notes that in some stores, ready-to-eat meals are already outperforming the basic basket in terms of profitability.
“Tochka” also intends to expand its own production and line of private-label products in 2026.
To ensure energy independence, the company has equipped all stores with generators and, starting in the second half of 2025, began installing solar power plants (SPPs) on the roofs of its stores. This allows the company to maintain the operation of refrigeration systems and minimize product write-offs during power outages.
The “Tochka” chain has been on the market since 2012. Its product range includes food and non-food items. The company’s “Bonus Basket” loyalty program offers over 1,000 promotional deals every day.

Commenting on the year’s results, the company noted that business operations continued under martial law.
“This period was characterized by a transition to a phase of long-term operational stability, where the primary focus shifted from crisis management to optimizing internal processes amid challenging security conditions. Threats to infrastructure and logistics remained consistently high, requiring the company to be flexible in planning and diversifying logistics routes,” the report emphasizes.
The manufacturer identified the main challenges of 2025 as rising production costs due to inflation and the devaluation of the hryvnia, energy supply issues, and a shortage of skilled workers due to mobilization and migration.
Despite the difficult conditions, the company actively expanded its product range. In particular, a new series of Avocado Up seasonings and toppings, Wok sauce for cooking, the “HIT Sauces” line, and Paste Mix tomato pastes appeared on the market. In total, the manufacturer’s product range includes over 700 SKUs.
At the same time, assets worth over UAH 12.4 million were written off during the reporting period. The write-offs included fixed assets damaged as a result of hostilities, obsolete equipment, as well as remaining raw materials and finished products that had lost their marketable appearance or exceeded their shelf life.

According to the group’s press release based on the 2025 annual report, this result primarily reflects the absence of coking coal concentrate sales, a decline in iron ore concentrate resale volumes, and lower average selling prices.

The region’s share of total revenue rose to 44% (up 3 percentage points year-over-year).

Meanwhile, coke sales fell by 20%. This segment accounted for 71% of total revenue (an increase of 8 percentage points).
Pig iron sales rose by 41% to $371 million, mainly due to a 53% increase in sales volume to 857,000 tons. This reflects growth in both resales (by 48%) and domestic shipments (2.5 times). The share of resales in total volume decreased by 4 percentage points, to 91%. North America remained the primary destination, accounting for 63% of shipments in 2025 compared to 71% in 2024. Shipments to Europe increased 2.2-fold and accounted for 32% of total shipments in 2025 (up 9 percentage points).

In 2025, long product sales rose by 1% to $960 million, driven by a 3% increase in shipments to 1.411 million tons.

Accordingly, these regions accounted for 11% and 78% of total sales, respectively (18% and 70% in 2024). Shipments to Europe fell by 20% amid declining demand, accounting for 10% of the total in 2025 (11% in 2024). Although the CFR China benchmark for 62% iron ore fines fell by 8% year-on-year, the average selling price remained nearly unchanged due to improved logistics efficiency.
