The “Gastrodarki” are located on Lenina Street, building 5 and on Onezhskaya Street, building 5. The outlets offer hot food, coffee, pastries, as well as fish and meat products. In total, the assortment includes more than 6 thousand items.
“Gastrodarks” function as normal dark shops from where they deliver products. At the same time, customers have access to self-pickup – this feature is not available in classic dark stores, Vkusville emphasized.
The “gastroparks” have seating areas. The area of the points is on average 800 to 900 square meters. m, of which 250 are occupied by cafes and shop windows. One of the “gastrodarks” has a special chamber with refrigerated products: an employee replenishes it on one side, and the buyer collects the food on the other.
If the point-of-sale tests are successful, Vkusville will expand the format, the retailer’s press service clarified to RB.RU.
In October 2023, the company opened a greistor, a familiar store for customers, but combined with an area for picking up online orders, Vkusville said.
