Mondadori Store opens a new bookshop in Bergamo’s ChorusLife smart district

The bookshop network Mondadori Store strengthens its presence in Lombardy with the opening of a new store under direct management in Bergamo, within the ChorusLife smart district, the urban regeneration project that brings together living, shopping, services, sport, entertainment, culture and leisure in a single urban ecosystem.

A wide-ranging offering

The new Mondadori Bookstore, which will be opened to the public on Wednesday 5 August at 11:30, aims to be a cultural reference point for the local area, providing the community with a space dedicated to books and reading. With a sales area of 210 sq m, the bookshop offers a wide range focused on the world of books and entertainment, with a catalogue of over 11.000 titles, from great classics to bestsellers, including fiction, a variety of non-fiction, and local and international books.

Departments for every taste

The Mondadori Bookstore in Bergamo welcomes all the latest releases and the main themed sections designed to suit everyone’s tastes: We are Junior, the space for younger readers, featuring educational games and illustrated books to stimulate their imagination with the most intriguing stories; Just Comics, the department dedicated to the phenomenon of manga and comics; My New Romance, the new space dedicated to fans of the romanceuniverse, one of the most popular literary genres at the moment; as well as a wide selection of stationery, toys, gadgets and gift cards.

Omnichannel by design

The bookshop also serves readers online: they will be able to stay up to date through its Instagram and Facebook. In addition, customers will be able to contact the bookshop through the digital services of Mondadoristore.it to check whether a book is available, order it, collect it in store or have it delivered to their home.

The services available also include Zeercle, the platform that enables people to sell their own books as well as CDs, vinyl records, physical video games, DVDs and Blu-rays, receiving in return a gift card corresponding to the value assigned to the products, which can be used in the bookshops and on the website.

“The opening of the new Mondadori Bookstore in Bergamo further consolidates our network’s presence in Lombardy, a strategic region in which we are reaching the milestone of 57 bookshops, under direct management and franchising. With this new space, we want to offer readers a point of reference dedicated to books, combining the quality of the offering, services and closeness to the local area, confirming our commitment to making reading increasingly accessible in the places people use every day,” said Carmine Perna, CEO of Mondadori Retail.

“The arrival of Mondadori Store marks another important step in ChorusLife’s growth. It is not simply a new commercial opening: a bookshop also brings culture, opportunities to meet and events open to the city. This is the direction we are following to create an increasingly complete and high-quality offering, in which shops, services and different activities can coexist and complement one another,” said Francesco Percassi, CEO of Chorus Life.
