Aurora began rebuilding the WestGate logistics center near Kyiv, which was destroyed in 2022
Aurora Multimarket has begun the reconstruction of the WestGate logistics center in Stoyanka near Kyiv, which was destroyed in 2022. This was announced by the company's co-founder and CEO Taras Panasenko.
This is a logistics center where the GoodWIne warehouse was located. Aurora actually received all the necessary permits and invested over UAH 1.3 billion in its reconstruction.
"We will restore and create a thousand new jobs here. We plan to launch by January 2026," Panasenko noted.
He also emphasized that the company invested UAH 2.7 billion in Ukraine in 2024 and plans to invest over UAH 3.2 billion in 2025.
Money that will not go towards rebuilding WestGate will be directed towards investments in the network and technology.
In addition to investments, Aurora plans to create over 2,500 new jobs in Ukraine in 2025.
In addition, Panasenko noted that Aurora's partners – over 600 Ukrainian manufacturers – continue their investments in the country's development.
Through a Romanian company, the partners are already exporting goods to the European market.
- The Aurora chain opened 33 stores in Romania in a year and earned 10 million euros.
- On May 29, Aurora co-founder Lev Zhydenko announced that the company expects to reach $1 billion in revenue by 2025.
