Avito opened a premium pick-up point in Moscow on Patriarch’s Ponds – Kommersant

The Avito ad service has opened a premium order pick-up point at Patriarch’s Ponds in Moscow, according to the company’s press release (available from Kommersant). The opening is timed to coincide with the launch of Avito Premium, which will sell products from luxury brands that have been verified for authenticity. The verification will be carried out by Legit Grails.

The new collection point is located at the Marco Polo Hotel. There you can not only pick up orders, but also buy clothes, shoes and accessories, including from foreign brands. The collection point will be open from today, November 13, until December 12. To pick up your order from there, you need to arrange delivery to the point at Spiridonevsky Lane, 9 building 1.

“The conceptual pickup point will allow you to feel the experience of a premium purchase in a boutique: guests who pick up their order from here will be treated to drinks, they will also have the opportunity to take stylish photos, relax in the lounge area and try on the purchase in a comfortable fitting room,” said Avito.

At the end of the 2022 financial year, Avito’s revenue amounted to 48 billion rubles, an increase of 55% year-on-year. Trading profit of the service last year increased by 32%, to 16 billion rubles. In April, Avito CEO Vladimir Pravdivy left his postafter which management of the company passed to its board.
