A significant event for the district residents was the opening of the "Rodny Kut" shop in the premises of the former canteen. Long before the grand opening, many visitors gathered at the shop, eager to make purchases on the pre-holiday day.

A pleasant surprise for everyone was the appearance of Ded Moroz (Father Frost) and Snegurochka (Snow Maiden), who greeted everyone with rhyming verses. The Deputy Chairman of the District Executive Committee, Vitaliy Dmitriev, warmly welcomed all guests and spoke about the improvement of trade services in the district. The Chairman of the Lepel District Consumer Society, Grigory Stosh, addressed the shoppers with best wishes.

To the cheerful applause of all present, Vitaliy Vasilievich Dmitriev and Grigory Nikolaevich Stosh cut the red ribbon and invited shoppers into the sales area. The moment when the Chairman of the District Consumer Society, Grigory Stosh, handed over the symbolic key to the shop to its manager, Elena Kovalenko, left no one indifferent.

Within minutes, the sales area was filled with shoppers. Lepel residents curiously approached the magnificent display cases and familiarized themselves with the offered range of goods. A wide selection of meat, dairy, culinary, wine and spirits products, semi-finished products, and confectionery. No visitor left the shop without a purchase.
