Eurospin opens former Coop store in Sesto Marelli with a bang
Eurospin opens former Coop store in Sesto Marelli with a bang
- Information
A spectacular opening for Eurospin in Sesto San Giovanni, replacing the Coop Lombardia supermarket on Viale Italia, which had served the area for many decades.
This morning everyone was queuing at the entrance and checkouts of the newly refurbished pdv, with long queues even in the self-service fast-checkout area. The discounts applied to a long list of products are attracting customers.
This is a store covering 2.300 sq m, with many grocery products (no brand 100%) and staffed deli and butcher counters. Large areas are dedicated to frozen foods and pet food. A large car park is available.
This is Eurospin’s second pdv in Sesto San Giovanni, after the one on Via Carlo Marx 495. It is operated by Cive srl, which is part of Eurospin and operates across Lombardy and Piedmont with 30 managed pdv.
In 2025 Eurospin achieved a production value of 9,59 billion euros and a profit of 398 million. It controls a network of over 1.300 pdv across Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Malta.
The next opening of Spesa intelligente is scheduled for 8 October in Guidonia, in the province of Rome.
Comparison at 4
The newly opened pdv operates in a strategic location, next to the Sesto Marelli metro station, on the border with the municipality of Milan.
Today, along a 1,3-km route from northern Milan towards Sesto, 4 major discount brands compete: Eurospin at the Sesto Marelli metro station, MD at Villa San Giovanni, and Lidl and Aldi at Precotto.
For its part, this is Coop Lombardia’s second transfer of a pdv to Eurospin. The other was the one in Busto Arsizio a year ago.
Coop Lombardia now has the Viale Sarca hypermarket remaining, 2 km from Sesto Marelli, the cooperative’s only pdv in the municipality of Sesto San Giovanni. In fact, around 4 years ago, the cooperative closed the Supermercato del futuro in the Bicocca shopping centre, just a few hundred metres from Sarca.
