Fix Price opens distribution centre in Domodedovo

The new facility takes up an area of 68 thous. sq. m

 

16 March 2023 Fix Price, one of the leading variety value retailers globally and the largest in Russia, has launched a new distribution centre (DC) with a total area of 68 thous. sq. m at PNK Park Domodedovo 1. It is the chain’s eleventh and largest DC. The facility is a built-to-suit property developed by PNK Group and owned by the Company.

Fix Price invested circa RUB 3.5 bn (net of VAT) in the construction and outfitting of the distribution centre in Domodedovo, with a target to reach a break-even point in approximately seven years. The DC will create 400 jobs.

 

“Fix Price continues its active expansion in Russia. It is our third large distribution centre in the Moscow Region, which will contribute to the chain's robust growth in both central and southern Russia.

The new economic realities of 2022 challenged our choice of DC equipment, so we had to source it from Chinese suppliers instead of European ones, which thankfully did not affect the project's opening date and economics. We are happy to continue expanding our logistics infrastructure to effectively serve our stores and, accordingly, our customers.”

Oleg Shtainagel, Logistics Department Director at Fix Price.

 

The distribution centre is already up and running, with the first consignment of goods shipped on 15 March 2023.
