Coop Lombardia signs an agreement to improve members’ and consumers’ homes

As it prepares to open the new Bollate store, part of a larger regeneration project, Coop Lombardia is helping those who want to improve their homes.

The partnership with Harley&Dikkinson and UniAbita

An agreement has in fact been signed between the retail chain, the Italian company Harley&Dikkinson (building enhancement) and UniAbita (a residents’ cooperative based in Cinisello Balsamo), providing customers and members with a 4% discount on renovations.

In other words, for home redevelopment work entrusted to HD Sistema Ristrutturazione, 4% of the taxable value of the work will be returned in the form of shopping vouchers to be used in Coop Lombardia stores.

Inside the Coop supermarket at Centro Bonola (Milan), the first HD One Stop Shop will open, helping members choose the most innovative solutions through sustainable work in line with European directives.

Particularly significant are energy-efficiency upgrades and improvements to overall efficiency which, in addition to reducing consumption and environmental impact, increase the value of the property.

Alfredo De Bellis, president of Coop Lombardia, comments: «Cooperation was created to concretely improve the quality of life of people and communities. With this initiative, we want to offer our members an additional tool to address an important issue such as redeveloping their homes in a simple way, combining environmental sustainability, quality of living and, above all, tangible financial benefits. The collaboration with Harley&Dikkinson and UniAbita is an example of how different worlds can work together to generate real value for citizens and the area».

It starts at Centro Bonola in Milan

At the heart of the agreement is the HD Sistema Ristrutturazione model, which will be operated by the company BuildingLife, established through the shared vision of HD and UniAbita, and which will accompany Coop members throughout the entire renovation process, offering integrated, “turnkey” support covering every aspect of the project: from technical and design assessment through to the operational, tax and financial management of the work, also including organisational and guarantee requirements.

The first point of contact will, in fact, be the Centro Bonola di Milano “help desk”, with the already planned aim of extending the service to other commercial centres.

Coop Lombardia’s figures

In this way, Coop Lombardia will also give its consumers an additional reason to join the cooperative, which has more than 750 thousand members.

Today, the chain, founded in 1984, manages a widespread network throughout the region comprising 85 stores: 14 hypermarkets and 71 supermarkets.

All this for a turnover of 2024 exceeding 1,2 billion and net profit of 3,5 million euros, up 30% compared with the 2023 figure, which was just over 2,4 million.
