Md inaugurates its first store in Santo Stefano di Rogliano, in the province of Cosenza

Md has opened its first store to the public in Santo Stefano di Rogliano, in the province of Cosenza, an opening that provides employment for 15 people with an average age of 35 years, all from the surrounding area and employed in the store’s various activities, from sales to the served departments.

With this new store, Md further consolidates its presence in Calabria and the province of Cosenza. The new store, affiliated with the company Icl, is the first Md store in the municipality and brings the total number in the Cosenza area to 17 and those operating in the region to 35.

The refurbishment

The new business was created through the refurbishment of a former commercial site, thanks to work that began in May 2026 and was carried out with local companies, including construction firms, systems contractors, electricians and equipment installers. The car parks were restored, and the façade was renovated, along with the interior and exterior spaces.

The new Md-branded discount store serves a catchment area that includes, in addition to Santo Stefano di Rogliano, Malito, Donnici, Piane Crati, Cellara, Rogliano, Mangone, Belsito, Altilia and Figline Vegliaturo.

The store

The store covers a total area of 1.000 sq m, of which 750 are dedicated to sales. The space is completed by 100 sq m of laboratories, 90 of storage space and 60 of customer facilities. The food area occupies 690 sq m, while 30 sq m are dedicated to non-food products. The discount store, with a rectangular layout and organised into 5 aisles, is designed to ensure a simple and orderly shopping journey. The range of customer services is particularly extensive, with served butchery and deli departments and take-away, open-view laboratories, bread baked to a golden finish and packaged bread from local suppliers. Particular attention has been paid to local products, including cured meats, cheeses, baked goods and fruit.

The store has 4 checkouts and an uncovered car park with 50 parking spaces, as well as 4 spaces for women and 4 spaces reserved for people with disabilities. Opening hours are from Monday to Saturday, from 8.00 to 20.00, and on Sundays from 8.00 to 13.00 and from 16.00 to 20.00.
