Exciting news for consumers in Malta! The well-known Italian discount supermarket chain ARD Discount is set to open its first store in Malta on September 19, in the northern town of Mellieħa. This marks the chain’s official entry into the Maltese market and represents a significant step in its expansion plans. ARD Discount’s arrival is sure to enhance Malta’s retail landscape, offering local consumers more affordable shopping options. Originating from southern Italy, ARD has gained a strong customer base thanks to its excellent value-for-money offerings.
What to Expect from ARD Discount
One of the key highlights of ARD is its wide range of product categories. In addition to everyday essentials, ARD offers organic foods, gluten-free products, lactose-free items, and vegan options, catering to a diverse group of shoppers. The supermarket will also introduce its private label product lines, featuring popular brands such as Sicilsole, Tesori del Cuoco, Buono and Gusto, Frutti di Frutta, and Prima Scelta, combining affordability with quality.
The first ARD store in Malta will be located on Triq il-Kbira, Mellieħa, next to the well-established Welbee’s Supermarket. This prime location is sure to bring in significant foot traffic and visibility. Mellieħa, known for its growing population and rising consumption levels, is an ideal spot for ARD’s launch. Notably, ARD already operates over 230 stores in Italy and boasts a 40,000 square meter logistics center, reflecting the brand’s considerable strength. Its success in the Italian market will undoubtedly serve as a valuable foundation for its growth in Malta.
Marketing Hype and Expansion Plans
Intriguingly, ARD has been teasing its arrival in Malta with the slogan “Big things are coming to Malta” on social media, generating anticipation ahead of the grand opening. The brand clearly has high hopes for its Maltese expansion. Once the Mellieħa store is up and running, it is expected that ARD will accelerate its expansion into other towns across Malta in a bid to capture a larger market share in the competitive retail sector. Given the competition from local supermarkets such as Welbee’s, ARD’s island-wide growth appears inevitable.
Conclusion
In summary, ARD’s arrival will inject fresh energy into Malta’s retail sector, providing local shoppers with more choices and affordable, high-quality products. The opening of ARD’s first store is eagerly awaited, and it promises to enhance the shopping experience for consumers across the island.
