Products and brands

At the end of the 1st quarter of 2012, the updated Kopeyka minimarket network included 4 stores located in Moscow and the Moscow region.

As of January 2011, the network included 624 stores operating in the discounter format, located in 25 regions of the Russian Federation. Some of these stores operated under franchise conditions. A feature of the Kopek franchise (unlike its competitor, the Pyaterochka chain) was the possibility of selling a franchise, including opening a single store (and not immediately an entire network, like Pyaterochka). The average network margin in Kopeyka stores, according to its CEO, was 21% in mid-2008.

The network's revenue in 2009 according to IFRS amounted to 54.9 billion rubles. (for 2008 — 47.0 billion rubles), EBITDA — 3.7 billion rubles, profit — 1.63 billion rubles.
