Lituanica Launches An Online Store Bringing Eastern Cuisine To The UK
London-based wholesaler of European foods, Lituanica, has launched a new online storefront. This store offers over 3000 products from across Central and Eastern Europe, making Eastern Cuisine more accessible for those living in the UK.
February 20, 2020 / / —
Lituanica, one of the biggest wholesalers in the European food market in the UK, has launched an online store that brings a wide range of Central and Eastern European foods to audiences across the nation. After an extensive history of supplying Eastern European food stores and restaurants, they now offer their wide catalogue of products online for all to share in, too.
Eastern Impact In UK Cuisine
Eastern European cuisine has long played a role in the foodie culture of the UK. Most towns and cities in the UK have Eastern European food stores on their high streets. These stores are hubs in the community where local-living people from all over Europe go to buy the taste of their homeland and then recreate the cuisine of their childhood and family life. For years, Lituanica Wholesale has been one of the primary suppliers of these stores and restaurants and now brings its offerings online to a wider audience.
The Rise of Lituanica
Lituanica began life as a family business in The Republic of Ireland in the 90s, the business rapidly grew and by 2003 the company had operations in the UK. 16 years on, the main operations are based in Barking, London, with 2 warehouses covering more than 120,000 square foot of space. Lituanica now employs over 350 permanent staff and alongside its wholesale operation has 6 retail outlets based in London and the South East.
Over 6000 products on offer
Lituanica’s growth has been spurred on by a huge range of products, which is in excess of 6000 from over 1000 manufactures and suppliers across Europe.
Rasa Apostol MD says, “We have a very diverse customer base, so it’s vital for our business model to reflect that diversity in the choices we offer.”
Lituanica’s new website offers customers a way to explore their vast product range by name, country of origin, and a range of other parameters.
Scaled to meet modern customer demands
Delivering on such a large scale is not without its challenges though; the market is competitive and being pioneers in the market means that Lituanica has had to carve out its own path to reach the prominence it now has.
Nadiya Butt, Head of Sales, says, “At Lituanica we place customer service at the top of the list, always endeavouring to offer customers the products they need to uphold their place in their B2C markets. It’s important to us that each shop remains the pillar in their individual communities.”
Another layer of uncertainty is how the market will be impacted by Brexit. Brexit will undoubtedly affect prices and possibly supply chains for everyone, But Lituanica feels it’s in a strong position in the market, with robust supply chains and tried and tested relationships with manufacturers.
One sure certainty is the large communities of Europeans who have made the UK their home and will continue to desire and purchase the variety of products that conjures up that taste of home.
