Latvia on Sale

In the run up to Latvia’s Independence Day several chain stores, including Maxima and Rimi, will launch campaigns offering Latvia-produced goods for lower prices. “We are proud of our Latvian heritage,” said Rimtautis Kestutis, Maxima Latvia general manager. He continued, “and I am excited to announce our "Independence Day Komplekt," which includes the best of Latvia, for only LVL 19.99." Pressed for what this komplekt will contain, Kestutis said "Booze, mostly. But also tinned fish, fiberglass, and high caliber rifle ammunition."
