What Gonza does

Fozzy Group is one of Ukraine's largest trade and industrial conglomerates, operating a multi-format retail platform anchored by 826 stores as of January 1, 2025, and reporting turnover exceeding 138.3 billion UAH (~$3.4 billion USD) for 2024. The group's flagship is the Silpo supermarket chain (239 locations across 61 cities), complemented by Le Silpo delicatessen markets, Fozzy Cash & Carry wholesale hypermarkets, Fora neighborhood stores, Thrash!Траш! supermarkets, and Bila Romashka pharmaceutical supermarkets, with the E-ZOO pet-store chain having reached 50 locations in August 2025. Beyond retail, Fozzy Group runs vertically integrated food production (Nizhyn Cannery, Boguslav Food Products Factory, Dniprianka), an in-house logistics operator (UVK), in-house software development (TemaBIT), travel services (Silpo Voyage), a banking presence through main shareholding in VST Bank, and a restaurant portfolio (POSITANO, ESCOBAR, WHO&WHY.DRINKERY, Boulangerie). The company is privately held, founder-controlled, headquartered in Kyiv, and employs more than 10,000 people.

The business model rests on high-volume, low-ticket retail transactions distributed across millions of Ukrainian consumers and SMB buyers, augmented by wholesale procurement through Cash & Carry, cross-channel loyalty data via the Vlasny Rakhunok program at Silpo and Le Silpo, and private-label sales (Premiya, Premiya Select, Povna Chasha, EXTRA!, Premiya Riki Tiki). Revenue mechanics combine food and household-goods retail margin, vertical-integration cost capture from production and logistics, banking income via VST Bank, restaurant and travel revenue, and tiered supplier procurement through a closed supplier portal. Recent strategic actions include the announced acquisition of Badoryi (2026-06-02), acceptance of state Winter Support and National Cashback payment rails (December 2025), and the Fozzy Venture Studio accelerator pilot with 9 startups (November 2025).

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• ATB-Market: Largest Ukrainian grocery chain and the most direct head-to-head competitor to Silpo, operating a wide national store footprint across convenience and supermarket formats with own private labels.
• Novus (Ukraine): National Ukrainian supermarket chain, directly competing with Silpo and Le Silpo in mid- to upper-tier grocery and an obvious peer for share dynamics in the same cities.
• Varus (Ukraine): Ukrainian supermarket and convenience operator competing in many of the same cities and segments as Silpo and Fora; comparable on format mix and own-label strategy.
• METRO AG: Global cash-and-carry and food distribution operator; directly comparable on the Fozzy Cash & Carry wholesale hypermarket business and on multi-format food retail scale.
• Billa Ukraine (REWE Group): Ukrainian supermarket chain backed by REWE Group, competing head-to-head with Silpo in city supermarkets and using a very similar own-brand and promotion-led playbook.

Broad incumbents

• SPAR International: International voluntary chain of independent supermarkets and hypermarkets with partner banners in many markets; comparable on private-label depth and multi-format distribution model.
• Auchan Retail: Large multi-format international retailer with Ukrainian hypermarket and supermarket presence; comparable on the breadth of grocery, own-brand and proximity formats under one group.
• Carrefour Group: Global multi-format grocery operator with hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience and own labels; relevant benchmark for Fozzy's integrated retail, private-label and loyalty playbook.

Emerging players

• Epicentr K: Large Ukrainian home-goods and grocery-adjacent retailer expanding into multi-format retail; comparable as another domestically owned multi-format group scaling rapidly in Ukraine.

Regional players

• Tavria-V: Ukrainian regional grocery chain with own production and private label, comparable as another vertically integrated national/regional food retailer operating own brands and supply.
