Key assets: Barnitsa brewery (Smolensk) and Sunny (Rostov-on-Don) are completely controlled by the Zemoyanov family. In 2024, they showed the total revenue of more than 2 billion rubles.

The retail link is implemented through the Varenitsa and “Litre” networks. The first saves VAT and social systems, working on a simplified taxation system, but has 210 points in six regions.
