Eurospin invests 40 million in the Chieti platform: 120 thousand sq m of logistics

The new Eurospin Cedi in Chieti, in Abruzzo, is taking shape and getting ever closer to its opening ceremony. The inauguration is scheduled for autumn 2027, and quite a lot is already known about this operation.

The discount king has invested something like 40 million euros in the platform, while its area will extend over 120 thousand sq m, of which 40 thousand will be covered.

600 job opportunities are being created

As confirmed by Chieti Council, as many as 600 jobs will be created, while the hub will be able to supply not only the Abruzzo region, but also Molise and, partially, the Marche.

There will also be an area able to comfortably accommodate at least 200 lorries and other heavy vehicles.

The enormous distribution centre is located in the Chieti Scalo area, an ultra-modern district of the city, used for commercial and industrial services, but also for education, thanks to the presence of the "Gabriele D’Annunzio" university.

Chieti Scalo, located north of the historic centre, is very well connected to the rest of the urban area and to the routes out of the city, being served by the central railway station (the Rome–Pescara line), the Chieti–Pescara route and the nearby A25 motorway, a link connecting Abruzzo with Lazio.

Today, on its website, Eurospin states that it has a total of 11 distribution centres across the country.

"Smart shopping" is also available in Slovenia, Croatia and Malta and, shortly, Serbia

Increasingly international for Eurospin

There are 1.350 outlets between Italy, Croatia (20 locations) and Slovenia, where retail development is entrusted to Eurospin Eko d.o.o. and where the network has 59 shops.

The group is also active on the island of Malta, in the city of Mosta, where it opened on 14 March 2024, but projects for a second opening are reportedly already under way.

The Serbia project is getting under way

Last year, the chain comfortably exceeded 9 billion euros in turnover, thanks to a production value of 9,14 billion euros, +4,9%, an EBITDA of 635 million (-2%) and net profit of 395 million (-7,4%).

The total number of employees is impressive, with a staff of around 22 thousand people.

Another country is among the next development horizons: Serbia, where several new sites have already been identified and the launch is expected during this year.
