23 January 2021 — The first Silpo store in Boiarka, Kyiv Oblast, opened at 40 Magistralna St. It has a sales area of 1,798 sq m and hosts nine cashier-staffed and seven self-service checkouts. The supermarket is open from 8:00 am till 10:00 pm.
The new Silpo offers an assortment of exotic fruits and vegetables by Vlasnyi Import (Own Imports), products from small farms Lavka Tradytsii (Shop of Traditions), Kraftiar (Craftsman) bread from the Silpo bakery, grilled meals, fresh juices and smoothies, pizza, hot-smoked fish from the Silpo smoke shop, ready-to-eat food, as well as Vlasna Kondyterska (Own Confectionery) sweets and chocolate. The guests can have their fresh fish scaled, order meat for shish kebabs, and pick up the orders they made at shop.silpo.ua.
The new store is designed after animal-free circus arts. The façade is decorated with vintage circus figures. The walls are covered with images of circus acts and its flamboyant history: equilibrists jump around and a hot air balloon floats under the ceiling. By the entrance, there is a dynamic installation inspired by Globe of Steel, featuring a Silpo’s electric delivery scooter.
"It is so fascinating to look at the history of our society through the history of the circus because it is about the strongest emotions: laughter, excitement, and amusement. The things that amuse us and make us smile are a marker of our maturity. We are very happy that Ukraine along with the majority of progressive countries is moving away from the use of circus animals, as cruelty cannot bring joy. Brought to the forefront instead is the hard work behind every magnificent image or a spectacular show, endless honing of the skills, and devotion. These are the things that are always exciting in any area of activity," said Kateryna Oguryaeva, Marketing Director at Silpo.
The new Silpo also features a FEEL__trd coffee shop, which serves coffee roasted on the spot.
