DESPAR Italia and the six companies making up the consortium continue to grow the brand's presence throughout Italy, with the opening of 10 new stores and reopening of two modernised stores across different store formats.

DESPAR Express store growth

The DESPAR Express store format has expanded with multiple new store openings, providing quick convenience for customers. In Rome, the new DESPAR Express store at Tor Bella Monaca, as well as the new store at Acquaformosa in Calabria, offers a catered selection of products to respond effectively to the daily needs of customers in those locations.

The new DESPAR Express store in Serramanna offers a wide selection of seasonal fruit and vegetables, a rich and assorted delicatessen counter and a range of DESPAR Own Brand products.

In Brancaleone, both a new DESPAR supermarket and DESPAR Express store in the region provides an enriched offer for customers thanks to a wide range of DESPAR Own Brand products and store layouts designed to guarantee practical, accessible and quality shopping.

New and modernised DESPAR supermarkets

Alongside the new DESPAR supermarket in Brancaleone, four new supermarkets and one renovated supermarket opened their doors to customers. The new DESPAR supermarket in San Paolo Civitate offers a variety of products and services in a larger-format supermarket. In the province of Potenza, two new DESPAR supermarkets strengthened the brand presence. Meanwhile, a new DESPAR supermarket in Nurri, Sardinia, the focus lies on fresh produce, ranging from fruit and vegetables to cold cut meats. The additional restyling of the historic DESPAR supermarket in Mazzarrone, Sicily boasts a complete redesign to provide an enhanced shopping experience for customers.

Two INTERSPAR hypermarket developments

The larger INTERSPAR hypermarket store format continues to offer an extensive range of food and non-food products to customers. In Triggiano, a new INTERSPAR hypermarket provides everything under one roof for customers.
