After easing quarantine requirements and allowing some non-food stores to open, 31 Human stores also opened their doors on Monday. In total, the chain operates more than 60 stores in Lithuania.
Although Humana also traded online during the quarantine, the second-hand clothing chain offered deep discounts on the first day of opening; products will be discounted by 50% during the first three days. This is probably due to at least a portion of the fairly significant flow of buyers.
15 minutes According to the information, the gathered shoppers were noticed in Vilnius at least near two stores on Trakų and Antakalnio streets, as well as in Klaipėda.
We hope to add a comment from the company.
Buyers missed the cosmetic stores; some have to wait outside
Queues also formed outside the other stores. 15 minutes Linas Apulskis, sales director at UAB Kosmelita, which runs the cosmetics retail chain Eurokos, was interviewed and said 38 of the 125 chain stores opened on Monday.
“Our stores are not large, they occupy an average of 140-150 square meters, there may be very few buyers at a time, about 4-6. We need to limit the flows. There are cases in which you have to wait outside ”, said the interlocutor.
He added that, at least today, there is the impression that trade is more active in regions than in large cities, there are more opportunities to buy goods when the regions, according to the interlocutor, may be scarce.

The Eurokos network has not made any short-term discounts for the first day and is not preparing to do so. “We don’t want to artificially encourage an increase in traffic. We have standard discounts – monthly and weekly.” It is difficult to predict how much traffic we will have over the course of the week, perhaps that deficit has accumulated, so the first few days can be more active than the rest “, guessed the interlocutor.
L. Apulskis stated that although interest is felt, stores cannot physically serve as many people as usual, so weekly results are unlikely to reach standard business week billing.
“Internet billing is higher than usual, but it really makes up a very small part of prior or prior year’s potential billing. It really does not compensate for the costs incurred during this period and it does not allow us to expect profits ”, said the interlocutor.
