Turkish shoe retailer FLO is reducing its presence in the Ukrainian market: as of October 2025, it has only one store left in Ukraine — in the Fontan Sky shopping center (Odessa), whereas the company had previously planned to open up to 50 retail outlets.
According to publications, the closure of the company’s stores was influenced by extremely low sales: for example, the FLO hall in the Nikolsky shopping center in Kharkiv had an area of about 1,200 m², but its turnover was 4-5 times lower than expected.
According to data from the state register, in January-June 2025, the Ukrainian division’s revenue amounted to 53.3 million hryvnia, a decrease of 39.3% compared to the same period last year; the company’s loss during this period amounted to about 43 million hryvnia.
FLO is a Turkish footwear chain founded in the 1960s, with more than 850 stores in over 30 countries. It is one of the leading footwear retailers in the Middle East, African, and Eastern European markets. In 2020, FLO entered the Ukrainian market, opening its first stores in Lviv and Kyiv.
Polish fashion brand Sinsay, owned by the large retail group LPP, has opened a store in Dolynska (Kirovohrad region), which is its 350th store in Ukraine, according to Vladislav Druhov, regional sales director at LPP Ukraine.
“We are proud to have opened our 350th Sinsay store in Ukraine right in the heart of Dolynska! This achievement is more than just a number; it is a testament to the passion, dedication, and teamwork of every person who has been part of our journey, from our store and regional teams to logistics, construction, leasing, and support departments,” he wrote on LinkedIn.
As reported, the Polish group LPP, which owns the Reserved, Sinsay, and other brands, plans to double the number of its stores worldwide over the next three years, focusing on the budget brand Sinsay and the overall growth of the company’s sales. There are plans to have a network of 4,400 stores by the end of 2025.
According to the Sinsay website, there are 350 stores operating in Ukraine, with seven more set to open by the end of October.
At the end of 2024, the group’s sales grew by 14.8% to PLN20 billion, and net profit by 5.6% to PLN1.7 billion.
Turkish chain English Home, which sells home goods and decor, is ending its operations in Ukraine and beginning the process of transferring its retail spaces to a local franchise partner. The reasons for this are a decline in the number of customers, falling sales, and high rental costs, according to NV Business.
According to the publication, the chain’s main target audience was women aged 20-40 with children, and with the start of the war, a significant part of this group left the country, which led to a decline in demand. At the same time, the operating company in Ukraine, EHM Ukraine LLC, managed to show revenue of UAH 281.6 million in 2024, which is 4.1% less than in 2023. At the same time, the annual loss reached UAH 43.1 million, which is 47.5% more than in the previous year.
One factor complicating business operations is that the British brand’s stores are located primarily in premium shopping centers, where rental rates remain high and are not offset by the decline in customer traffic. As noted by Yavuz Bekar, Director of International Sales at English Home, “our business operations in Ukraine were not profitable.”
English Home was founded in Turkey in 2008 and is managed by Turgut Aydın Holding. The brand offers collections of British-style home textiles and decor in pastel and muted shades. As of October 2020, there were 33 retail outlets in Ukraine.
