20 Years of Epicentr: A Journey of Growth and Innovation Founded by Galyna and Oleksandr Gerega, Epicentr began as a chain of building hypermarkets and evolved into a network of shopping centers featuring shop-in-shop formats. Today, the Epicentr Group includes "Epicentr" and "Nova Linia" retail networks, the epicentrk.ua e-commerce platform, Intersport sports goods stores, Epicentr-Agro agroholding, tile manufacturing plants, woodworking enterprises, and extensive logistics facilities. Reflecting on two decades of remarkable achievements, Epicentr has grown from a single store in Kyiv in 2003 to Ukraine’s largest retail network, encompassing over 2.2 million square meters of retail space. With over 2 billion visitors, Epicentr’s reach is extraordinary, comparable to nearly 19 times the traffic of the Eiffel Tower. Throughout its journey, Epicentr has faced significant challenges, including economic crises and the COVID-19 pandemic, yet has continued to innovate and diversify. Despite the recent invasion resulting in the loss of six shopping centers, Epicentr's resilience remains strong, with 2022 revenue exceeding 57.6 billion UAH. Epicentr’s ongoing transformation focuses on enhancing customer services, expanding e-commerce, and integrating diverse product offerings. This ensures we continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers and remain a cornerstone of the Ukrainian retail landscape. Join us in celebrating our story of continuous growth, innovation, and commitment to excellence. #Epicentr20Years #RetailInnovation #UkrainianBusiness #EpicentrGroup #EpicentrK

When Kindness Touches Hearts: Epicentr Group Honored by the “Children of Heroes” Charity Foundation This year has brought us many meaningful encounters, but the most precious were with the children who lost their parents to the war. Their mothers and fathers gave their lives defending Ukraine, so peace and light could prevail in our homes. Together with Intersport-Ukraine, Children of Heroes Charity Fund, National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, and Ukrainian athletes, we organized sports events across the country, gifting these inspiring children with sports gear and equipment to help them chase their dreams. We also provided warm clothing—small acts of care that bring comfort and hope. Every initiative reminds us of the power of compassion and the impact it can have on their journey forward. Receiving recognition from the Children of Heroes Charity Fund during their charity gala was a truly meaningful moment for us. The award — a drawing of two doves, symbolizing peace — serves as a powerful reminder that every act of kindness matters. At EPICENTR group of companies we continue to support those who need it most. Through our “Angels of Good Deeds” initiative, our customers can also join in, spreading love and hope to children who need it most. We believe in the power of community to transform the world – sharing warmth, care, and hope for a brighter future. Thank you to everyone walking this path with us. We do this for them – our children, our future. #EpicentrCares #EpicentrGroup #ChildrenOfHeroes #SocialImpact
