Some grocery stores of "Basis-Navapołacak" closed, others significantly narrowed range of goods. How to change the situation in the short term?

– At the moment, – said deputy chairman of the executive committee of the Navapołacak Dmitry Samuskov – the company is in the process of pre-trial rehabilitation. Commission on the Prevention of economic insolvency (bankruptcy) developed a set of measures to restore its solvency. The city authorities and the leadership of "Basis-Navapołacak" take all necessary measures to exit from a difficult situation.

One of its causes was the payment of the loan taken for the construction of the ninth district of a major shopping center "Globus", which opened in September 2015. In the implementation of this investment project took 110 billion non-denominated rubles. The calculation was made of the fact that not far off a new bridge over the Dźvina, and the entire infrastructure of the neighborhood will be built, which is the entrance gate to the city, will be further developed.

But the implementation of plans to a halt due to the general economic reasons. There were difficulties in the business environment, sharply decreased demand for rental space, including the proposed "Globe". Meanwhile, the National Bank conducted a tight monetary policy, inflation was low and interest rates on loans decreased insignificantly. "Basis" without delinquency repay, washing out their own working capital. Started having problems in settlements with suppliers, do not have enough money for the purchase of new products, there was a decrease in sales volumes.

To exit out of this situation are forced steps, as the sale of the objects from the auction were made. To reduce costs the optimization of the number of employees. The organization of school meals, which is engaged JSC "Basis-Navapołacak" by the decision of the executive committee passed the hotel complex "Navapołacak".

At this stage, it adopted a strategy of product sales throughout the enterprise network close to customers.

– We look at the long term and want to come to the city major, reputable players. The main objective – to provide quality services to the population. The most powerful position in the food market today are large retail chains, – said Dmitry Samuskov.

Artificial suspension of retailers he called a dead end, because healthy competition allows you to keep prices down and improve quality of service, and ultimately it benefits the buyer. However, Dmitry pointed out that the two other main subject of trade Navapołacak – the company "Eurotorg" and "Resttrade" – according to the anti-monopoly legislation has exhausted the potential for further acquisition targets, as their share exceeds 20%.

Now completed preparation of documents for the auction, which will be exhibited in two lots: Seven food shops of "Basis-Navapołacak" and separately – the shopping center "Dvina". Bidding will take place on March 3. Experts believe offer interesting. Fast food "Smile" will be implemented in a single property complex with shops in the structure to which they belong. Cafe "Lileya" to be transferred to the hotel complex "Navapołacak". At the same time, the issue of shares in the transfer of the business use of the asset concern "Myasomolprom".

The executive committee expects that a set of measures taken will allow JSC "Basis-Navapołacak" to return to the effective economic activity, and the new owner of the network will make every effort to saturate the food stores a wide range of products and improve the trade service of inhabitants of nearby houses.
