A representative of Lenta at a meeting with the Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg Boris Piotrovsky said that buyers complain about the blue and yellow colors of the chain's stores, including to the presidential administration. Fontanka reports her words.
“For more than a year we have been living in a situation where every day we receive angry requests from customers, including through the presidential administration, to repaint our stores. We have yellow and blue stores, this is how it happened historically, ”said a representative of Lenta.
Fontanka contacted the press service of the store chain to find out if it is planned to change corporate colors due to customer complaints . Lenta did not answer this question.
As the publication clarified, the meeting was devoted to the topic of agitation in favor of concluding a contract for military service. It was attended by representatives of retail chains and shopping centers. Lenta refused to place banners on the facades of hypermarkets.
“There are episodes when people handing out leaflets about contract service in other regions are attacked,” a network spokeswoman said. In her opinion, «"Lenta" risks his reputation that buyers will not come to us and will boycott.
