Migros retail expansion and automated store pilots

Overview

Migros is expanding its retail presence in Switzerland through new supermarket openings and the implementation of automated service models. The company is growing its Teo self-service mini-store concept, specifically targeting rural areas and smaller communities where demand is increasing. Planned locations for these unattended branches include Speicher and Räterschen.

In addition to mini-stores, Migros Ostschweiz is expanding its traditional footprint with a new supermarket scheduled for Eschen in 2027. The company is also piloting a 24-hour supermarket model in Herisau, which transitions to an unmanned self-service system after 19:00. While this pilot has reportedly doubled turnover, it has faced criticism from local business associations regarding the circumvention of Sunday closing laws.
