X5 Group announced that Perekrestok will pilot a new store format with a floor area of less than 300 sq m and a limited product range comprising its bestselling products. The new Jam Perekrestok stores will be located within a walking distance of offices and residential buildings. The first store has already opened in Moscow, with two more stores to be piloted in St Petersburg before the year end. The format's product range is five times smaller than at Perekrestok supermarkets, with around 3,000 SKUs consisting entirely of products that have received the high customer ratings. Fresh categories, including fruit, vegetables, dairy products, ready-to-eat foods, pastry, etc., account for 60% of the product range. The share of private label goods is 30%, with a special focus on Zelenaya Liniya health foods. The format's pricing policy aligns with that of the Perekrestok supermarket format. The pilot store has a café with a seating area separated from the shopping space, as well as Wi-Fi and charging stations available for customers to use. The store features self-checkouts for a more comfortable shopping experience. In addition, there are containers to collect batteries and plastic bags for recycling. A 30-minute express delivery service is available to those living within 1 km from new Perekrestok Jam stores via the Perekrestok mobile app. Currently, there are 980 Perekrestok supermarkets located in more than 145 cities and towns across Russia, with an average supermarket offering an assortment of 15,000 SKUs.
