Ukrainian Fozzy Group, which owns the "Silpo" supermarket chain, has decided to suspend the operations of the online dry cleaner Mink for an indefinite period. The service no longer accepts new orders, but will fulfill all previously taken obligations to customers.
This is stated in an official announcement by Mink. The company cited the difficult situation in Ukraine as the reason for the decision, without specifying the circumstances that affected the service's operations.
Full cessation of activities will occur after all accepted orders are completed and customers' items are returned.
The company assured that all items currently in process remain safe and will be returned to their owners.
As NV Business reports, citing the press service of Fozzy Group, the holding is already removing drop-off boxes from "Silpo" supermarkets and plans to store them.
At the same time, the company cannot confirm whether Mink will resume operations in the future. Fozzy Group stated that they will continue to monitor the market situation.
The online dry cleaner Mink was one of Fozzy Group's additional businesses. The project was launched in test mode in December 2021 for holding employees, and in August 2022 the service became available to the general public.
The company offered dry cleaning, washing and repair services for clothing, footwear, accessories and home textiles. Customers could place orders online, after which a courier picked up the items and delivered them after processing.
In December 2023, Fozzy Group also opened the first offline MINK point in a "Silpo" supermarket in the village of Lisnyky, Kyiv region. It operated on a self-service basis.
According to Forbes Ukraine, citing YouControl, the revenue of LLC "Viklin", which developed Mink, in 2025 amounted to UAH 9.7 million, an increase of 2.5% compared to the previous year. At the same time, the company's loss increased by 34.2% to almost UAH 31 million.
The suspension of Mink's operations occurs against the backdrop of significant losses of other Fozzy Group businesses due to Russian attacks.
As previously reported by "Kurs Ukrainy", for the nine months of 2026 LLC "Silpo-Food" recognized UAH 1.53 billion in losses from damage and destruction of property as a result of Russian strikes.
Due to the loss of some supermarkets, warehouse and production facilities, the holding was forced to restructure logistics, review costs and reduce part of its staff.
At the same time, Fozzy Group did not report a direct link between the losses of the "Silpo" chain and the decision to stop Mink. Officially, the holding explains the freezing of the service by the difficult situation in the country.
The timeframe for possible resumption of the online dry cleaner's activities is currently not determined.
