A retail company that manages a chain of grocery stores has explained the situation with empty shelves.
X5 Group reported that the problems were caused by a shortage of workers at the distribution center in the Yaroslavl region.
The company that manages the Pyaterochka, Perekrestok, and Chizhik chains has stated that the issue is already being resolved, RIA Novosti reports.
Additional resources from neighboring regions were attracted for this purpose. The situation with the supply of goods is expected to normalize in the near future.
This was the response given by the press service of X5 Group after reports of empty shelves in Pyaterochka stores located in the cities of the Golden Ring of Russia.
The company emphasized that there is currently a seasonal shortage of employees. The fact that migrant workers are leaving for their home countries also had an impact.
Employees from other regions where there is no labor shortage at X5 Group facilities have been attracted to the Yaroslavl Region.
