The Varus supermarket chain opened three new stores on May 1—in Odesa, Dnipro, and Verkhivtseve (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast), according to the company’s press service, as reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" citing “Interfax-Ukraine.”
“We continue to expand our chain by testing and scaling various store formats—from compact to larger ones. It is important to us that every Varus store meets customer expectations in a specific location: this is about speed, convenience, and accessibility for everyday shopping,” said Varus Marketing Director Anna Luganska.
In particular, a compact supermarket focused on quick daily shopping with a basic selection of products has opened in Odesa (9a Yaroslava Baissa St.). In Dnipro, a renovated Varus has opened at 56-A Naberezhna Peremohy St., featuring a modern design, expanded lounge areas, a Varus cafe, and an open-air food court. A new supermarket has opened in Verkhivtseve, offering access to a wide range of products—from basic categories to ready-to-eat meals—with a focus on the daily needs of the local community.

All three stores have implemented solutions for fast service—self-checkout lanes and the Scan&Go service, which allows customers to scan items via a mobile app and pay for their purchases without waiting in line.
