The Mondadori Group is present in Italy through Mondadori Retail S.p.A.:
• in the physical market, with the most extensive network of bookstores: a cultural oversight present in a capillary fashion throughout national territory, thanks to more than 500 stores branded Mondadori in all Italian regions and provinces, from large cities to smaller towns, in addition to shopsin-shops and Club Mondolibri corners.
• on-line with the e-commerce website mondadoristore.it and the Bookclub formula.
This year also saw the continued policy of developing and maintaining the physical network implemented in recent years.
At the end of the year, direct stores numbered 54 units; in this business segment, the network renewal and development continued through:
▪ the transformation of existing stores through transfer/downsizing/remodelling projects; in this respect, we note the mid-July reopening of the Marcianise store after the temporary closure to reduce the sales surface area;
▪ the selective development of the network, based on a format that is now consolidated in terms of dimensions and value proposition with a clear focus on the book product.
As concerns franchisees, mainly characterised by stores near medium/small towns, the progressive focus on the Bookstore format continued, with medium-sized bookshops offering considerable turnover; the opening of new bookshops and the refitting of existing bookshops continued, in parallel with the closure of smaller “Mondadori Point” brand outlets.
On 1 February 2024, Star Shop’s network of comic book stores, which at 31 December 2024 numbered 18 DOSs and 41 franchisees, joined the network of sales outlets referring to the area.
