What we achieved together

Our work with Nelins began in April 2026, when the shop wanted to explore a Ukrainian range. We started with two shelf sections of ambient groceries. When sales exceeded expectations, the range quickly grew to a full grocery shelf, a large chilled section with charcuterie and dairy products, and a freezer section with frozen cakes. We work closely with Nelins to keep curating a high-performing range that moves quickly from the shelves.

Results

  • 2 shelf sections at launch
  • 1 full grocery shelf today
  • Shelf + chiller + freezer a complete range
