Wife of former Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, Ukrainian PR specialist, businesswoman, and co-founder of a chain of adult stores Svitlana Paveletska is closing one of her retail locations. As she shared on social media, the reason for the closure is regular shelling, a decline in purchasing power, and new conditions for entrepreneurs operating during air alarms.
The entrepreneur emphasized that due to constant threats and disruptions in work, revenue in some shopping centers can drop to zero. The situation is complicated by the introduction of “yellow alert” rules, which allow establishments to operate only if they independently arrange shelters for staff and customers. Paveletska critically assessed this requirement, noting the technical impossibility of building a separate bunker for the store inside a shopping mall.
In addition, the businesswoman drew attention to the uneven distribution of financial risks between landlords and tenants. If during periods of high sales the shopping center receives a fixed rent and a percentage of turnover, then during downtime all losses, salary payments, and reserves for frozen goods fall solely on the business owners. She also spoke about the difficulties of early termination from a shopping center and breaking a contract to stop losses.
“- You don't always get to simply close a loss-making store. To close one of our points, we need to pay about two million hryvnias. Just for the right to not operate anymore,” she summed up.
26 in May Kuleba and Paveletska married after several years of dating.
Svitlana Paveletska previously spoke about an intimate boutique, reactions to haters, and the stamp in her passport.
