Conad Adriatico Plans To Invest €258m By 2027

This investment will focus on network expansion and modernisation, enhanced technology, and improved operational efficiency.

The company attributed its success to its emphasis on private-label products – 33% of sales in supermarkets and 22% in hypermarkets – fresh and convenient offerings, strategic network initiatives, and a commitment to sustainability.

Conad Adriatico leads the market in Abruzzo (32% share), Marche (21%) and Molise (20%), and it is expanding its Todis discount store format.

Its network comprises around 433 outlets and 43 concept stores, including fuel distributors, pharmacies, opticians, and pet stores in Italy, in addition to 34 stores in Albania and Kosovo.

A key initiative is the new 21,000-square-metre distribution platform in Grottaglie, designed for perishable goods, which has improved efficiency in the Puglia region.

Additionally, Conad Adriatico is exploring the use of AI and integrating ESG criteria into its governance.
