The creation of the store design was inspired by the Odessa Stories cycle written by a renowned writer Isaac Babel, who praised the art of living in Odessa. The interior design has many trees, while the walls depict illustrations from the life of the city of the early 20's: big wedding, Odessa yards with women arguing with each other on balconies, boys running on Privoz and riding trams, a bank robbery, a gang and their leader Benia Kryk, as well as images of eternal love.

The new Silpo with an area of 796 square meters has special conceptual zones: Tradition Shop with Ukrainian farm products, a deli with wood-fired grilled produce, fish section with a hot-smoker, freshly made confectionery, a section of freshly roasted coffee, a bakery section with products made by Silpo and Craftsmen, and our famous buckwheat baguettes.

This is the seventh themed designer Silpo in Odessa. Other Silpo stores are styled after a loft, the best Lustdorf traditions with the German rural life motifs, a seaport, a ship interior and even a music supermarket. The new Silpo supermarket (26th in the city) is located at 50/1 Yevreiska Street.

The Silpo supermarket chain has been experimenting with interior design since the beginning. Over five years ago, the retailer began designing its own thematic conceptual designs for individual supermarkets, and in 2018 expanded the experiment to the entire network. Now every new Silpo has its own design and additionally there is a program of updating the design and concept of existing stores (as of 01/01/2020, there are seven supermarkets with their own thematic design). Currently, Silpo is one of the few major grocery retailers in the world to create custom themed designs for each store.

The network has supermarkets styled after the Mavka Universe, Van Gogh, music theme, ancient printing house, yacht club/seaport, Asian culture, and the Wild West. There is even a Klingon language store (fictional language of the Star Trek universe) and a rock stars store. In 2019, three designer supermarkets were listed in the Europe's Finest Store 2019, the top 25 of the best innovative designs of European stores according to the European Supermarket Magazine.

Silpo is one of the largest Ukrainian chains of grocery stores in Ukraine with an assortment of around 76,000 grocery and related products, as well as products of its own brands and imports. The company’s project “Lavka Tradytsii™” (Eng. Traditional Shop) aims to support and develop small Ukrainian manufacturers, whose products can be purchased at Silpo and Le Silpo delicacies.

As of 26/12/2019, the retail chain has 258 supermarkets, including 4 Le Silpo delicacies.
