A gift from "Hanna"

On the eve of the women's holiday, the residents of Lepel received a wonderful gift – the branded shop "Hanna" opened in the district centre.

On the eve of the women's holiday, the residents of Lepel received a wonderful gift – the branded shop "Hanna" opened in the district centre. The 300-square-meter retail outlet was built by the construction crews of Vitebsk Broiler Poultry Factory in less than a year. Sixteen new jobs have been created here.

The sale of the enterprise's products had been conducted in the town for a long time and quite successfully. However, they were sold from a small, unheated kiosk, and customers had to queue in the open air. Therefore, the decision was made to build a shop. Despite difficult times, they managed to see the project through. Almost six billion roubles of the factory's own investments were put into it, and the construction cost more than in the regional centre.

This is the 20th "Hanna" shop, and in total, the factory already has 21 retail outlets.

The care for the people of Lepel was not limited to comfortable conditions and a wide range of its own products presented in the new shop. Here, you can buy almost everything a household needs: dairy, bakery, and confectionery products, beverages, and essential household goods...

The Chairman of the Lepel District Executive Committee, Boris Efremov, sincerely thanked the factory management. Many townspeople who gathered for the celebration joined Boris Sergeevich's words. In fact, it turned into a people's festival: guests from the regional centre brought wonderful artists with them, music and songs were played, and children and adults alike took to dancing. The residents of Lepel also appreciated the opportunity to sample the products and the promotions timed to coincide with the opening of the retail outlet.

If новоселы (new settlers) let a cat into the premises before moving in, "Hanna" has its own traditions: a chicken was the first to enter the new shop. It probably brings good luck: the sales floor was crowded until closing time. Customers themselves felt and became convinced of the accuracy of the motto under which the staff of Vitebsk Broiler Poultry Factory works: "At Hanna, we have the very best for you!" The townspeople are also grateful for the convenient location of the shop – within walking distance of their homes. The new retail outlet will invariably attract both city guests and tourists passing by on the nearby highway.
