Amstor national retail chain consolidates its presence in the capital of Ukraine having opened its second store of the ‘Supermarket of Taste’ format in Solomenskiy district of Kiev. Thus, the total number of the network’s stores has increased to 28 supermarkets.
The new store is located in Marmelad shopping centre, at 154 Borschagovskaya Street. Its total area is 4.21 thousand square meters and its sales area amounts to 2.690 thousand square meters.
The opening of the network’s second supermarket in the capital of Ukraine is the next stage in implementation of the company’s strategy aimed at consolidation of its status as the national retailer. Shortly, the company plans to open its new stores in Donetsk and Zaporozhye. In 2013, Trading House Amstor plans to expand its network to 33 supermarkets.
The concept of the ‘Supermarket of Taste’ provides that the focus is put on the fresh goods category. The share of this commodity category is supposed to account for over 60% of the sales area and its assortment is intended to amount to about 20,000 items.
The supermarket will traditionally offer a wide range of goods of its own production, as well as products manufactured under Amstor’s trademarks, in particular, Dobra Vygoda, Delicatesse, Bazhana Marka (food products); ESTO (non-food products).

The State Budget of Ukraine Received 41% Less Taxes from Smart Holding in the First 9 Months of 2025
As of January–September 2025, the Group’s companies paid 543 million UAH in taxes, which is 41% less than in the same period last year (915 million UAH).
