"Essen" is a chain of hypermarkets in Tatarstan.

It was founded in 2003 (officially on October 25) by Baryshev Leonid and Maheev Vadim.

The idea of the store had been brought by Leonid Baryshev from Spain by visiting a hypermarket of the French network «Carrefour».

After a lot of studies of experience of others and solving all organizational matters, the partners began to create a chain.

The first store named "100 best goods" was opened on May 15, 2003 in Elabuga.

The second store was opened a year later in Almetevsk with the same name.

Before opening of the next hypermarket in Naberezhnye Chelny all of them were renamed in Essen (from German “food”).

Hypermarket in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny was opened in 2005.

This year was a breakthrough for the company - 4 open hypermarkets in 4 cities of the Republic of Tatarstan.

Due to the rapid expansion of the chain, management of "Essen" decided to invite experts who have studied the network «Carrefour».

Using their assistance in 2006, a mall was built in Nizhnekamsk which became the largest store in the Essen chain at that time.

At the beginning of 2011 in different cities of the Republic of Tatarstan, the Udmurt Republic, Kirov region, there operates 18 hypermarkets in the trading format of Cash & Carry and 8 discounters "Essen Express".

ESSEN is the first chain in the Republic of Tatarstan , which began trading in the format of Cash & Carry.

This format provides low prices to customers with minimum costs of processing of goods.

The main advantage of the format is reduction of the cost of storage space by placing the stock in a hypermarket itself.

Thus, the work in this format allows you to move into the sphere of retailing with all benefits and features specific to wholesaling trade.

Due to this the very conception of modern and efficient trade, the company became a leader in the market all over Tatarstan.

Essen became one of the first hypermarkets which realized the concept ONE STOP SHOPING CENTRE in Tatarstan.
