Yandex Shop launched the first franchise in Tula

The assortment includes more than 4.5 thousand products: vegetables and fruits, dairy and meat products, household chemicals and prepared foods under the own brand of the “Iz Lavki” service. Delivery time: from 15 minutes.

Soon Lavka will offer products from local producers, which will account for about 20% of the assortment. Among them are dairy and meat products, bread and other products from Tula Dairy Plant and Volovsky Broiler.

Orders will be delivered from darkstores, warehouses in different parts of the city. One darkstore has already been opened in the Central region, two more will begin operating in the near future and four more warehouses will be added by 2025. Some dark stores will open dark kitchens, kitchens where dishes are prepared just before delivery so that the customer receives them hot, the company emphasized.

For local manufacturers, cooperation with Lavka will open a stable sales channel and access to expert support. Service specialists will help partners improve the product by finalizing recipes and optimizing packaging for online sales.
