X5 Group will open more than 400 Chizhik hard discounters in 2022, instead of the previously planned 300 outlets. By the end of the year the chain will be present in 11 regions and count 500 stores. Currently X5 Group has about 150 Chizhik discounters. Revision of the plans was possible due to the effective business model of the retail chain, the demand for the stores and the positive response from visitors during the testing of the format.
