"We continue to expand our online offer for customers, adding delivery from supermarkets and superstores to the previously launched express delivery from Magnit Convenience and Cosmetic stores. The majority of customers that prefer shopping in supermarkets is represented by families with children who are also more demanding in regards to the assortment. Delivery from supermarkets and superstores will significantly save time and effort when stocking up with large volumes of goods. We plan to strengthen our positions in the regions, specifically by connecting about 20 cities to the delivery service from large formats this year."
