A number of Magnum strong drinks supermarket chain stores had to stop operating for the time being in Yekaterinburg. The chain store representatives do admit they have been suspended; they refuse to provide any comments on the causes of the halt, however.

Magnum currently comprises nine stores, eight of which are located in Yekaterinburg, with the remaining one based in Nizhniy Tagil, Sverdlovsk Region.

UralBusinessConsulting found out that at least two of the chain’s stores had been closed upon the order of Sverdlovsk Region’s division of the Federal Service of Court Officers.

The Service’s spokesman Oleg Golovlev informed UrBC reporters that an official statement might be provided a bit later.

Now Magnum strong drinks supermarket chain is actually a member of Omega Group, and this latter company is now faced with over 1 billion RUR worth of claims laid against the Group by a number of banks. The claims have been placed with Sverdlovsk Region Arbitration Court.
