JYSK Ukraine plans to open 10 new stores and reopen 12 stores in the modern Store Concept 3.0 and Compact formats in the new financial year, which starts on September 1.
According to the company’s press service, five new JYSK stores are planned to open by the end of the calendar year: in the A1 shopping center in Odesa, the OBRIY retail park (Tatariv) and Peretyn (Melechiv in the Lviv region), in the Bukowyna Mall (Chernivtsi) and the Lavky Park shopping center (Mukachevo).
The company emphasized that in terms of network size, JYSK in Ukraine plans to surpass JYSK’s home country of Denmark in the 2026 financial year. Another important event will be the celebration of JYSK’s 1,000th employee in Ukraine. These steps are part of the global Customers’ First Choice strategy, which will be launched this year in all countries where the company operates. Its goal is to make JYSK the first choice for both customers and employees.
“This year will be special for us. We are growing as a team and as a chain, while remaining true to our values of strong teams and dedicated work. It is thanks to our people that we continue to develop, and we believe that JYSK will become the first choice for both customers and employees,” comments Yevgen Ivanitsa, CEO of JYSK in Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, JYSK has supported the Ukrainian network. This time, on the occasion of Independence Day and the new financial year, representatives of top management from Denmark visited Ukraine — JYSK CEO Rami Jensen and Executive Vice President of Retail Micael Nielsen. In particular, they visited the JYSK store in Chernivtsi, which last year became the chain’s 100th store in Ukraine.
“We are impressed by the resilience of our Ukrainian colleagues during the war. I hope that our visit was a sign of our commitment and support for them,” says JYSK President and CEO Rami Jensen.
Today, there are 109 JYSK stores in 37 cities in Ukraine, as well as the online store jysk.ua. The company employs over 800 people in Ukraine.
JYSK is part of the family-owned Lars Larsen Group, which has more than 3,500 stores in 50 countries.
JYSK’s revenue in the 2023/24 financial year was EUR5.6 billion.
Rozetka opened 33 new stores in January-June 2025 and plans to launch 10 more by the end of the year, according to its press service.
“Despite constant threats, Rozetka opened 33 new stores in the first six months of 2025: 22 of its own and 11 franchises. This is almost half of last year’s figure, when the company added 74 new stores and entered 35 new cities,” the company said in a statement.
It is noted that the new stores will also include relocated facilities.
In addition, Rozetka continues to develop its network of parcel terminals and partner delivery points.
“At the beginning of 2024, there were only four parcel terminals, but now there are already 104,” the company’s press service reported.
Rozetka, an online store for electronics and household appliances, was founded in 2005 in Kyiv by Vladislav and Irina Chechotkin, and later the fund managed by Horizon Capital became a co-owner of the company. Today, the company has transformed into a multi-category online marketplace, but is also developing a network of its own stores. As of August 1, 2025, the network has 549 stores in 166 cities.
The Silpo chain of stores will open its first supermarket in the Bukovel ski resort in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, according to the Ukrainian Council of Shopping Centers.
The store will open in the village of Polianytsia (1 Shchivky tract). The opening date is not yet known, but preparations for the launch are already underway, as evidenced by the retailer’s job vacancies posted on job search websites.
Previously, Silpo only offered delivery services in this region.
Silpo is one of the largest supermarket chains in Ukraine, founded in 1998. It is part of the Fozzy Group, a trade and industrial group. As of August 2025, the chain has 309 supermarkets in 62 cities.
Rush LLC, owner of the EVA chain in Ukraine, received UAH 14.8 billion in net income in January-June 2025, which is almost 19% more than in the same period of 2024, according to the company’s press service.
The release specifies that net profit for the period amounted to UAH 548 million, while tax payments reached almost UAH 2.5 billion.
In the first half of the year, the company invested UAH 800 million. Significant areas of investment include network development, modernization, and rebranding (almost UAH 150 million), the acquisition of a logistics complex in Brovary from Dragon Capital, as well as the expansion of the self-service checkout network and the introduction of a new store format.
During the first half of the year, the company opened 29 new stores, 16 of which feature the “Women’s Energy” design. The chain now has 1,127 stores in operation, 143 of which feature the “Women’s Energy” design and three in the EVA BEAUTY format.
Thanks to the expansion of its network, EVA has created 225 new jobs. As of June 30, the company had a total of 13,949 employees.
EVA’s private label department continues to develop its portfolio, which currently includes 66 brands. In particular, the division has entered a new category: car fragrances.
In the decorative cosmetics category, the trendy Jelly collection from GlamBee was presented, and the Fabien Marche perfume brand was expanded with two new lines: Hermetic Collection and Kaleidoscop Collection. A new line of skincare products for problem skin, MAY face, was also launched.
The share of private label products in the company’s sales in real terms amounted to 37.88% in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, specialists plan to focus on developing exclusive private label projects for EVA.UA (beauty gadgets, fitness accessories, etc.), as well as introducing new hair coloring, toning, and styling products to customers.
The company’s logistics department has completed a number of large-scale projects. At the beginning of the year, an agreement was signed with Dragon Capital to acquire a logistics complex in Brovary.
The modernization of the online store’s distribution centers in Lviv and Brovary has increased the maximum order processing capacity from 12-15 thousand to 20 thousand per day at each warehouse. Significant software improvements have been implemented to optimize the selection and control of online orders. All this has made it possible to increase employee productivity in the control and packaging department by 75%, reduce the number of errors in order packaging to 0.013%, cut operating costs for control and packaging by 40%, and reduce the average order picking time by almost 2.5 hours.
Another important area of work for the logistics department is the development of its own courier service. In Dnipro, Lviv, and Kyiv, according to the results of the first half of the year, 68% of courier deliveries are already carried out using the company’s own resources. In the near future, it is planned to expand the service to Odesa and Kharkiv. The share of in-house deliveries to pick-up points in stores has also increased from 54% at the end of 2024 to 64% at the end of the first half of 2025.
The EVA.UA marketplace already offers over 350,000 products from EVA itself and over 130 partner sellers. The growth rate of the company’s online store traffic in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was 26%, the growth rate of orders was 35%, and the growth rate of turnover was 56%.
More than a third of orders on EVA.UA continue to be placed via the company’s mobile app. At the end of the first half of the year, it had over 5.6 million installations and over 800,000 active users per month. In the first half of the year, the company integrated the VISUAL by EVA functionality into the app. In addition, EVA launched a personalized consultation service with a cosmetologist expert in Viber and Telegram chatbots. Currently, EVA chatbots have over 2 million subscribers.
Rush LLC, which manages the EVA chain, was founded in 2002. As of early 2025, the chain had 1,109 stores in operation.
According to Opendatabot, the owner of Rush LLC is listed as Incetera Holdings Limited (100%), a Cypriot company, with Ruslana Shostak and Valeria Kiptika as the ultimate beneficiaries.
At the end of 2024, Rush’s revenue increased by 28.2% compared to the previous year, to UAH 27 billion. Net profit decreased by 36.7%, to UAH 1.4 billion.
On July 12, Rush LLC, owner of the EVA chain in Ukraine, opened its first store of the new compact format “EVA поруч” in the village of Zazimya in the Brovarsky district of the Kyiv region, according to the company’s press service.
By the end of 2025, the chain plans to open 10 EVA Nearby stores. The next openings are already scheduled for July in the Kyiv region in the village of Sofiivska Borshchahivka (Bucha district) and in the village of Hatne (Fastiv district).
It is specified that the experimental format of the compact “EVA Nearby” store will have an average area of about 60 square meters, which is 3-4 times less than a standard EVA store.
“This format is designed to help us meet consumer needs where this was previously impossible due to a lack of space sufficient to open a regular EVA store. EVA Nearby will ensure our presence where it is important to shoppers,” said Viktor Sredniy, COO of the EVA chain.
The range will include around 2,000 SKUs (15-20,000 SKUs in full-format stores). However, the compact format will also feature unique offers with a focus on the affordable price segment. The focus of the assortment will be on household chemicals, household goods, basic childcare products, hygiene products, and body and hair care products. Decorative cosmetics and perfumes will not be available in the new format. However, the advantage of the “EVA поруч” format is that such a store will serve as a pickup point for online orders.
Investments in opening an “EVA поруч” store amount to UAH 500,000, while launching a standard EVA store costs UAH 3-5 million, depending on the design of the retail outlet, its area, and the initial condition of the premises. Each compact store creates an additional 3-4 jobs.
EVA Nearby currently has experimental status. The strategic development potential of the format will be determined by the results demonstrated, which the company plans to evaluate in 2026.

The Brocard perfume store chain is preparing to open a store with an area of over 1,000 square meters in the Ocean Mall shopping center, based on the new Beauty Garden concept, the company’s press service told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
“We are preparing to open Brocard in the new Beauty Garden concept. This is a different, more ‘young’, more emotional Brocard in terms of both style and content. Different colors, different design, but the same: the best brands, only original products, only official supplies, real beauty experts, and an exclusively transparent and responsible business,” said Olena Lada, director of strategic development at Brocard.
All key brands have been retained in the new format and are presented in separate personalized corners. The company is also actively working to attract new categories and brands to the concept, including those that are not traditional for Brocard’s audience: pharmacy care, dietary supplements, professional hair care brands, sexual wellness products, and an expanded range of accessories.
According to Olena Lada, the new format will help visitors experience the beauty of the world of perfumes and cosmetics, try products for every taste and at every price point.
“We want every customer to feel welcome, so we have completely rebuilt our approach to service,” she said.
For example, you can get a free skin and hair diagnosis and choose the best fragrance for yourself through the exclusive “Perfume Sommelier” service.
Brocard Business Manager Yuriy Gatkin explained the choice of Ocean Mall shopping center by positive partnership experience.
“We have been working with this team since 2003, since the opening of our first joint project in the Mandarin Plaza shopping center. Since then, we have agreed that we will be present in each of their facilities. It is a matter of trust, professionalism, and strategic partnership. Today, we are present in Mandarin and Blockbuster, and we are planning to open in Ocean Mall—and this is definitely not the end. We are confident in the quality of the projects and that we are moving forward together,” said Gatkin.
Brocard-Ukraine is an operator in the luxury segment of the Ukrainian perfume and cosmetics market (Brocard and Kiehl’s brands, the Brocard.ua online store, and the Brocard mobile app). The company has 68 stores in 22 cities across Ukraine, over 1,600 employees, and more than 2.5 million regular customers. The chain’s stores carry more than 480 brands of premium cosmetics, perfumes, skin and hair care products, and beauty accessories, including more than 100 niche perfume houses.
The ultimate beneficiary of the Brocard holding, which includes Brocard-Ukraine and Exagon, is French citizen Philippe Benacin, one of the key players in the global perfume and cosmetics market, chairman of Philippe Benacin Holding, and director of Interparfums SA.
