Welcoming autumn, “Ogmios City” is expanding its gourmet food store offerings. Introducing “Fishop,” this capital’s shopping and leisure center already hosts nearly thirty gourmet product retailers in one place. This is especially convenient for everyone who will cook more at home again in September and want to enjoy quality, fresh, and tasty food.
Therefore, according to L. Zuoza, “Ogmios City” was a very natural place for the expansion of the “Fishop” store. Here, he says, many gourmet food retailers are already concentrated, and visitors are used to looking for quality and unique products.
“We wanted to be where customers can find everything they need not only before major holidays but also when planning a simple dinner for family or friends. At the same time, we understand that the modern buyer is very busy. Both product quality and convenience and fast service are important to them. They want to arrive comfortably, have everything at hand, and also receive sincere, professional advice,” says L. Zuoza.
According to him, that is why the new “Fishop” store aims to make shopping easy both when looking for ingredients for a regular dinner and when preparing for weekend lunches or a festive table. This, the speaker says, is easy to feel even on the first visit.
“If you haven’t been to us yet, I would recommend not rushing to choose one specific product – it’s worth looking at the entire display. Our company “Norvelita” specializes in fish products, with which we have been working for more than 30 years, accumulating long-term experience. Still, I would highlight salmon products. As is known, fish today occupies an increasingly important place in nutrition due to well-known Omega acids, a high amount of healthy proteins, and increasingly easy preparation and consumption methods. Our technologists closely follow international trends and strive to present the best ideas to customers by constantly updating the assortment,” says the speaker.
And alongside fish, he adds, customers can find spices and other products needed to prepare delicious food in the store. “If there are questions about how best to bake, boil, or otherwise prepare the chosen fish, employees will always offer a recipe or help select the right spices,” says the store manager.
Operates transparently and sustainably
L. Zuoza assures – the idea of this store is not limited to just selling fish. On special occasions or needs, favorite products can always be ordered in advance. Meanwhile, some products are weighed according to the buyer’s needs, and chilled salmon is portioned, so it is possible to purchase exactly the amount needed for a specific dish.
“This is especially convenient to avoid unnecessary product leftovers. But for us, not only a sustainable approach and avoiding food waste are important. We receive raw materials for production only from selected and reliable suppliers, and at every stage, we carefully control product quality, traceability, storage conditions, and the uninterrupted cold chain. Freshness and food safety are our most important criteria, so we pay special attention to the entire product journey,” he emphasizes.
According to the speaker, the company’s production processes are audited according to the highest international food safety and sustainable fisheries standards, including IFS, ASC, MSC, BIO, and other certification requirements. Moreover, according to L. Zuoza, “Fishop” values communication with customers, which does not end at the store’s doors.
“In our social space, we encourage customers to share prepared dishes, recipes, and reviews. This way, we aim to create a lively community and better understand what people are looking for. Our philosophy is simple – we want to help the customer from the choice in the store to the tasty result on the plate,” says the speaker.
For more than a decade, “Fishop” has been operating in Vilnius and other Lithuanian cities. Therefore, the network is expanding its accumulated experience by opening doors in “Ogmios City.” “We constantly hold tastings, introduce customers to our products because taste is better felt than seen. This retail philosophy has already proven successful for us, so we hope that the new store here will also attract buyers who appreciate good food,” invites L. Zuoza to visit “Fishop.”
The new “Fishop” store is located in “Ogmios City,” Verkių St. 29B, Vilnius. Its working hours: Mon–Sat 10 am–8 pm, Sun 10 am–6 pm.
