Kyiv saw a special predictions themed Silpo supermarket open up 15.12.2020
15 December 2020, a new redesigned Silpo of Good Omens is opening in Kyiv at 2 Kalnyshevskoho street (Polyarnyi shoping mall).

Silpo is quite good at positive predictions, so this was made a very real theme for a new designer supermarket.  2634 square meters were transformed into a huge space of magic, fortune telling and crystalglazing. The trading floor can boast tarot cards, a real fortune-telling booth, high columns shaped as candlesticks, pictures of Nostradamus with Silpo receipts in his hands and a projection of a black cat walking on walls. If you stop at the entrance to the supermarket, the Wheel of Fortune will give you a hint on how exactly the Lady Luck will find you.

It is not the interior design of the shop that has been revamped, the new sections have been added as well: the ones with in-house salted and smoked fish, professional cortador-run hamon  section, flower shop and a display case "Traditional specialties" (Lavka Tradytsii). Under the handcrafted chandeliers in a new cafe you can read fortune in a good old-fashioned way: by picking up a random book from a shelf, thinking about certain question on your mind, opening the book at a random page and pointing your finger with your eyes shut into that page to find out the answer. Look for your answers and choose the best in our redesigned Silpo from 8 am till 23 pm every day.
