Gruppo Gabrielli consolidates its presence in the capital with a new Tigre Amico in Pietralata

Gruppo Gabrielli strengthens its presence in the capital with the opening of a new Tigre Amico supermarket in Largo Mattei Gentili, in Pietralata.

The brand is arriving in a residential area that has so far been without supermarkets: with a primary school just a few steps away and a student residence due to open soon, the neighbourhood represents an important catchment area, which the new Tigre Amico aims to serve as a local neighbourhood hub capable of providing convenience and service in residents' daily lives.

The store

The new Tigre Amico covers an area of approximately 250 sq m and offers a range of fresh and packaged products, a delicatessen counter with hot and cold preparations, and a cold meats counter. The offering is complemented by home delivery of groceries and benefits for over 70 s and university students. The store is operated under a franchise by Flamingo Retail, a young Roman business venture. The approximately ten people employed in the shop are all under 35. The company opened its first store in Rome in December 2024 and is now continuing its journey with the opening in Pietralata.

The comments

"This opening represents a new and important milestone in our consolidation in Rome, which began with the acquisitions of 2023, and confirms the central role of franchising in the Group's development plans. Our model is based on strong reciprocity: we provide franchisees with the Group's infrastructure, industrial expertise and services, while in turn benefiting from their in-depth knowledge of the local area. Our collaboration with Flamingo Retail perfectly embodies this vision: a virtuous alliance between our fifty years of experience in franchising and the energy, ideas and freshness of a new generation of entrepreneurs, united by a strong focus on relationships with people," says Nico Silvestri, franchising sales director at Magazzini Gabrielli.

"The Tigre Amico format, an expression of proximity, enables us to get to know our customers better, listen to them and support their daily shopping with personal attention. We are coming to Pietralata in this spirit and with a partner, Gruppo Gabrielli, with whom we share the goal of growing in Rome and helping the people who work with us to grow," says Guido Santucci, operations manager at Flamingo Retail.
