The idea of opening the production of Tula printed gingerbread did not come immediately; there were doubts; there was not enough knowledge in the field of production, since I had built my entire professional career in commercial structures in the field of sales. And as it turned out later, it is easier to produce a product than to sell it. This is where knowledge and skills come in handy. Together with my best friend Timakova Svetlana, who has experience in marketing, we drew up a business plan, in which we placed the main emphasis on the naturalness of the product and its appearance - packaging. This allowed us to distinguish ourselves favorably from our competitors and take a leading position in the Tula market. “We want a truly RUSSIAN PRODUCT - Tula gingerbread, to take its rightful place on the shelves of our and foreign stores” - our main goal.
We registered in the USRN on April 2, 2013, the first gingerbread was made on May 31, 2013, the first box on September 12, 2013, the first grant was received in December 2013. At the moment, our customers are the SPAR network ", the store "Tula Gingerbread", "Sweets-Lambs", "Hyperglobus" and more than 70 retail outlets. We have our own retail. Currently, we produce more than 500 kg of products daily. The production is loaded with orders for a week in advance, both the main assortment and corporate gingerbread cookies (with company symbols). Our “KNOW-HOW”: online store “Tula Gingerbread” with home delivery, production of semi-finished products (dough pieces with filling), so that all consumers have the opportunity to get the freshest gingerbread. At the factory there is an educational and excursion center “5 secrets of the Tula Gingerbread”, in which everyone has the opportunity to make their own Tula Gingerbread with their own hands. Opening - April 2014. Visits monthly up to 2000 people. Partners – more than 30 tour operators in Russia. Close cooperation with the administration of Tula and the entrepreneurship support committee.
Our plans include constructing our own building for production and entering regional and foreign markets.
