This year we plan to modernize all stores-flagships, and this is more than 40 stores. Next month we are going to start updating the first stores. "
The heads of product categories of the Foxtrot network introduced the new format to the guests and told about the peculiarities of the grocery sectors of the store.

The store is modern in the presentation of goods "Digital categories" and at the same time it is cozy and warm in the category "Home appliances".

The islet of light is a beauty zone, where small home appliances such as razors, hairdryers, ploys and innovative brand products are offered. And specially from Kenwood, master classes from famous chefs of Ukraine are held in the zone “Master Chef”, where customers can try cooking independently using the brand's technique.
