KYIV, Nov 10 – More than 300 new grocery supermarkets opened in Ukraine in January through June, a record number over the past decade, mitigating the impact of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown in March through June, NAI Ukraine reported.

"The opening of new stores is thanks to the dynamic growth of retail after the lockdown. In addition, Ukrainians less often visited foreign countries, it is estimated that about $3.8 billion remained in the country in the second or third quarters, which opened up even greater opportunities for the domestic market," the NAI Ukraine said.
