As the company states, the transaction is 'a significant step in the path of rapid consolidation of Eataly's position in its reference markets and an opportunity to support its strategic development plans both with the new Eataly Caffè format and in new channels to reach new customers'.
The next openings
.In the near future, further shop openings are planned, especially in North America, with three new stores by the end of the year in Philadelphia, Toronto and West Palm Beach. The new Eataly Caffè format, after Rockefeller Center and Hudson Yards, will expand its presence in New York with a new opening on Lexington Avenue.
"The Eataly Caffè format was studied and designed after Investindustrial's entry into the capital. The great success it met with right from the start prompted the board of directors and all the shareholders to provide the company with additional resources to accelerate the development of the interesting pipeline of possible openings," said Andrea Cipolloni, group CEO of Eataly, emphasising that, thanks to the capital increase, "we will also be able to further accelerate our international expansion plan in travel retail.
After the recent opening at Schiphol, 'we will in fact have a store at Linate by the end of the year, in addition to the five in Paris, between Orly and Charles De Gaulle, and the four in New York Jfk. This will consolidate our presence in key markets and lead the Eataly brand to intercept new consumer segments,' the manager added.
