In January-June 2024, Varus supermarket chain paid UAH 700 million in taxes and fees to the state budget, the retailer’s press service reports.
“Every hryvnia of taxes paid to the state budget is another brick in building a strong economy of Ukraine. We are grateful to all the customers of Varus supermarkets, thanks to whom we continue to work and contribute to the support of our country,” comments Marina Panina, CFO of Varus.
In the first three quarters of 2024, Varus opened new stores in Pokrov, Zaporizhzhia, two in Odesa and renovated the store in Kryvyi Rih.
The release notes that the expansion of the network and the opening of new stores allows Varus to create and provide jobs for Ukrainians in different regions. The company pays special attention to internally displaced persons. First of all, the company helped evacuate and provided new jobs to its employees from the regions where active hostilities are ongoing. The IDPs are employed in all cities where the chain has stores. In the city of Dnipro alone, more than 500 IDPs have been employed in the chain’s stores.
