On November 10, 2026, it was reported that the Salateira restaurant chain has closed all its outlets in Ukraine after 15 years of operation. This decision was a result of financial difficulties faced by the chain in recent months.
Financial Issues Faced by the Chain
As early as summer 2026, it became known that the Salateira chain was experiencing serious financial problems. The main reasons for this included:
- Prolonged air raid alerts that significantly affected restaurant attendance.
- A 45% drop in revenue from restaurants in shopping centers compared to pre-war levels.
Official Confirmation of Closure
The decision to close has been confirmed by the chain's co-founders. Yevhen Ruban, who was a co-owner of Salateira from 2011 to 2016, and Oleksandr Savilov, one of the founders, confirmed that the Salateira project has completely ceased its operations. All 12 outlets of the chain have closed, marking a significant loss for fans of this restaurant network.
