Retail chains: limiting range would lead to business chaos

A representative of Norfa’s retail network informed BNS that in order to take industrial products off the market, a large part of the software on the network would have to be replaced, which would have a negative impact on the company’s operations.

“Software changes of this magnitude can cause unintended consequences, cause chaos during holiday sales and cause serious damage to the company,” Darius Ryliškis told BNS.

The absolute part of sales in Maxima stores are food products, says E. Dapkienė.

Ernesta Dapkienė, head of the communication and image department at retail chain Maxima, said she does not believe that restricting sales of industrial goods would reduce the flow of buyers.

“The absolute share of sales in Maxima stores is food. Currently, we do not have a suitable solution to restrict industrial products; all the options would only introduce even more confusion in such a difficult situation,” E. Dapkienė told BNS.

Lidl representative Lina Skersytė stated that the company has yet to make decisions regarding the call to limit the range.

Renata Keršienė, public relations manager at Rimi Mall, told BNS on Thursday that the restrictions on the stores are not being considered. At the time, Iki emphasized the existence of a food chain, most of which was food, and did not comment further on whether the sale of non-food items could be restricted.

On Thursday, Aušrinė Armonaitė called on retail chains to independently limit the range of products and thus reduce the flow of buyers and maintain equal competition between merchants. According to her, if necessary, the government could force them to do so.
