Promoting local products

The renovated store also confirms its commitment to promoting local production, through a range that includes local products and a selection of “I Nostri Ori” specialities. This offering brings the local food and wine heritage to the shelves and gives customers the opportunity to choose products that express the region’s traditions.

We worked on the product offering and services to keep pace with those who live, study and work in the city centre, with the aim of being ever closer to the people who choose our store every day and to the needs of a constantly evolving community.”
