Opening Friday, July 24 at the Puglia Village Outlet Shopping Center in Molfetta and Friday, July 31 at the Mongolfiera Shopping Center in Taranto
Mondadori Store, Italy’s largest bookstore network, is strengthening its presence in Puglia with the opening of two new directly managed Mondadori Bookstores. The bookstores will open on Friday, July 24 in Molfetta (BA) and Friday, July 31 in Taranto, respectively.
The Mondadori Bookstore in Molfetta will open inside the Puglia Village Outlet Shopping Center and will be the only bookstore in the complex. Spanning 240 square meters, it will offer a selection of over 13,000 titles. Meanwhile, with an area of approximately 280 square meters, the new Mondadori Bookstore in Taranto will be inaugurated in the Mongolfiera Shopping Center, providing the public with a curated choice of more than 15,000 titles.
Both Mondadori Bookstores aim to become new focal points for local readers, offering dedicated spaces for books, reading, and community gathering. Their selection ranges from timeless classics to bestsellers, covering fiction, non-fiction, local, and international titles.
“The opening of two new bookstores in Puglia marks another step forward in Mondadori Store’s growth path and confirms our commitment to investing in a region that is particularly important to us, where we are already present with 47 other stores. With the new Bookstores in Molfetta and Taranto, we want to provide readers with welcoming, modern spaces capable of becoming vital socio-cultural hubs for their respective communities, highlighting the book as an opportunity for meeting, discovery, and sharing,” declared Carmine Perna, CEO of Mondadori Retail.
The Mondadori Bookstores of Molfetta and Taranto host all the new releases with specific thematic areas designed to satisfy the tastes of all readers, such as We are Junior, the space for younger readers, which includes educational games and illustrated books to stimulate their imagination with the most curious stories; Just Comics, the department dedicated to the phenomenon of manga and comic books; and My New Romance, the new space dedicated to fans of the romance universe, one of the most loved literary genres of the moment. The offer of the sales points is finally enriched by a wide section dedicated to stationery, toys, gadgets and gift cards.
The bookstores are at the service of readers online as well: customers will be able to stay updated through their respective Facebook pages: Mondadori CC Puglia Village Molfetta and Mondadori CC Mongolfiera Taranto. In addition, they will be able to get in touch with the points of sale through the digital services of Mondadoristore.it to check the availability of a book, order it, pick it up in store or have it shipped home. Among the available services there will also be Zeercle, the platform that allows people to sell their volumes as well as CDs, vinyls, physical video games, DVDs and Blu-rays, receiving in exchange a gift card corresponding to the value attributed to the products, to be used in the bookstores and on the website mondadoristore.it
