Italian grocery retail expansion

Overview

Major grocery chains in Italy continue to expand their retail presence through new store openings and urban redevelopment projects.

iN’S Mercato has reached over 580 locations following the opening of a 623-square-meter store in Rubiera, Reggio Emilia. This new site emphasizes energy efficiency via LED lighting and features fresh departments including organic produce, fish, and meat from controlled supply chains. This follows previous expansions in Cisliano and Castell’Alfero.

Tigros has inaugurated its 89th store in Uboldo, Lombardy. The 1,500-square-meter facility provides 41 new jobs and offers digital services such as ‘Tigros Drive’ for curbside pickup and ‘Tigros Casa’ for home delivery.

In Monza, Iperal is scheduled to open a new 2,500-square-meter supermarket at the former Colombo site on September 30. The 18,000-square-meter redevelopment project includes a RistoSelf, a bar-bistrot, and the creation of Villoresi Park with sports and play areas. The project incorporates sustainable elements like a biolake for rainwater management and is expected to provide 127 jobs.

Additionally, Lidl Italia has opened an energy-efficient supermarket in the Gaslini industrial area following a 4 million euro investment utilizing photovoltaic energy.
