In Soviet times, it was an advanced Supermarket where something scarce was "thrown out" for sale. In the early noughties, the entire Vesta network was a breakthrough in assortment and marketing. Instead of the nearby "VP" I went there for groceries, regardless of the distance.
Then the network seemed to hang on a "pause": for 20 years, everything has become obsolete - from the counters to the general atmosphere. The prices are among the highest, the assortment is low, the feeling of the same state department, only it is no longer a Supermarket, but a Village store.
Alas, Vesta is an anarchic chain of stores and is coming to its logical conclusion. The management staff is of retirement age, but alas, all their ideas are in the past. Compared to other retail chains, the assortment is poorer, and the quality of goods is below average. In fact, these are shops within walking distance for the age group of citizens.
