Trading Yard Anix

Trading Yard Anix (Russian: Торговый двор «Аникс», often shortened to TD Anix) is a Russian regional retail and wholesale company based in Biysk, Altai Krai. According to its official website, the company was founded on 7 June 1993, when its first store, "Anix-107", opened in Biysk. From a single small counter-service shop, the business grew into one of the leading grocery operators of the Altai region, combining retail and wholesale trade with own-brand manufacturing, semi-finished and fresh food production, a franchising network, equipment service and repair, agricultural production and hotel operations. The company describes itself as a retailer whose ambition is to turn everyday shopping into a pleasant, lively experience, and it frames its mission around helping people "build a better life on their own land". Its store network operates under the "Anix" banner, while the franchised network is developed under the "Korzinka" brand in partnership with independent shop owners. Stores of the Anix and Korzinka networks serve customers in Altai Krai, the Altai Republic and Novosibirsk Oblast. Anix has been a pioneer of modern grocery retailing in the Altai region: it opened the first self-service store in Biysk ("Anix-Slavyansky") in 1998, was among the first to offer fresh in-store bakery, and launched the Korzinka franchise network in early 2008. The company also runs a wholesale arm, Pride-A (ООО «Прайд-А»), and has been recognised for its IT projects, winning the "1C:Project of the Year" and "ITSM Project of the Year 2024" awards together with its technology partner Desnol. The founder and general director, Yuri Nikitin, has led the company since its early years and is associated with its charitable and community initiatives. The business remains privately held and is not listed on a stock exchange. Its head office is located at 5/1 Sotsialisticheskaya Street in Biysk.

Trading Yard Anix traces its origins to 7 June 1993, when the first store, "Anix-107", opened in Biysk, Altai Krai. The company's own history page describes this as the beginning of a shift from "unfriendly" Soviet-style shops to stores designed around the customer. The small counter-service shop on Sotsialisticheskaya Street still serves shoppers today. A major turning point came in 1998 with the opening of "Anix-Slavyansky", the first self-service store in Biysk. This introduced the idea of trusting customers to browse goods within arm's reach, a novelty for the region at the time. The company continued to expand its retail footprint and to modernise store formats, becoming known as an early adopter of in-store fresh bakery and other customer-friendly features in the Altai region. In the early 2000s the business diversified beyond straightforward retail. According to its official description, the company added own-brand manufacturing, semi-finished and fresh food production, equipment service and repair, agricultural production and hotel operations to its core wholesale and retail trade. A wholesale arm, Pride-A (ООО «Прайд-А»), was established to serve suppliers and business customers. In early 2008 Anix launched the "Korzinka" franchise network, created by the company and developed in partnership with other entrepreneurs who own the stores. This franchising model allowed the company to extend its retail reach and share its trading expertise with independent operators. Today the Anix and Korzinka networks operate across Altai Krai, the Altai Republic and Novosibirsk Oblast. Under founder and general director Yuri Nikitin, the company has also invested in information technology and process management. In 2024 a joint ESM project with the technology company Desnol Soft won the "ITSM Project of the Year 2024" contest, and later that year the partners were recognised at the "1C:Project of the Year" awards in the IT management (ITIL) category. The company also engages in community and charitable activities, including sponsoring a city cross-country skiing championship in Biysk in 2024. Anix remains a privately held regional business. Its head office is at 5/1 Sotsialisticheskaya Street in Biysk, and it continues to operate supermarkets, a wholesale division, home delivery and a franchising programme.
