The EVA chain of stores plans to invest approximately UAH 1.33 billion in business development in 2026, focusing on logistics, network expansion, and digital solutions, the company’s press service told Interfax-Ukraine.

The company clarified that it will direct more than half of its investments toward developing its logistics infrastructure, specifically, expanding and modernizing its distribution centers in Lviv and Brovary.

Another UAH 0.5 billion is planned for investment in opening new stores and upgrading existing ones. This includes the introduction of hybrid checkouts that can operate in both self-service and traditional modes, data collection terminals, and other digital solutions.

E-commerce remains a separate investment area. By 2025, the share of online sales in revenue exceeded 12%, and the company plans to further grow it by developing its platform, services, and improving the customer experience.

In 2025, EVA invested over UAH 1.1 billion and opened 73 new stores, continuing to expand the EVA Women’s Energy concept and develop the EVA Beauty format, as well as introducing a new experimental compact format, EVA Nearby. As of the end of March 2026, the chain comprised 1,173 stores.

The company plans to maintain its growth momentum by 2026 and open approximately 60 new stores, including three Eva Beauty stores in Kyiv and Uzhgorod.

LLC Rush, which manages the EVA chain, was founded in 2002. As of early 2026, the chain had 1,167 operating stores. Based on 2025 results, LLC Rush increased its net revenue by 18% year-on-year, reaching UAH 31.8 billion.

According to the YouControl analytical system, the owner of LLC Rush is listed as the Cypriot Incetera Holdings Limited (100%), and the ultimate beneficiaries are Ruslan Shostak and Valeriy Kiptyk.
