OR Group (Obuv Rossii) is a Russian shoe company founded in Novosibirsk in 2003 by Anton Titov.[1]

History

The company was founded in 2003 in Novosibirsk.[2]

In March 2007, a project was launched in several Novosibirsk stores of the company: customers could take an interest-free loan for 3–5 months to buy shoes, but the purchase had to be more than 3000 rubles, and as a result, sales in the shops grew by 15% in three months.[3]

In 2010, the firm has signed a one-year advertising contract with singer Valeriya.[4]

In 2015, Obuv Rossii bought the S-TEP, a Novosibirsk shoe company, which owned a shoe factory in Berdsk.[5][6]

In November 2020, the company decided to change the name Obuv Rossii to OR Group; it also decided to go beyond the fashion segment and become a universal retailer developing a trading platform and online marketplace under the brand name Prodayom.[7]
