The Epicentr K hypermarket chain plans to construct five shopping centers and a large logistics complex in Khmelnytskyi this year. The terms for putting these facilities into operation will depend on several factors, but the company plans to complete their implementation by the end of 2024, said Petro Mykhailyshyn, CEO of Epicentr K.
According to him, the first stage of the complex in Khmelnytskyi will be 57,000 square meters, and further expansion is planned to 80,000. The current Epicenter retail projects will create more than 1.5 million square meters of new retail space and more than 16,000 jobs. The company’s future plans include constructing new shopping centers in Lviv, Kyiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, and other cities and reformatting its outdated network facilities.
In addition, the company plans to invest in the energy sector by buying gas-piston power plants with a total capacity of about 100 MW to power its enterprises and shopping centers.
