On 2 July, Carrefour Italy inaugurated its 12rd Market Gourmet store in the city of Varese in the north of the country

An accomplished chef, with a strong link to the territory, Matteo Pisciotta, at the helm of the Luce restaurant in Villa Panza, Varese, and one of the best-known food bloggers, Chiara Maci, the creator of the "Chiara Maci" and "Sorelle in Pentola" blogs, are the protagonists of the inauguration evening of the first around-the-clock Carrefour Gourmet Market in Varese, open non-stop 365 days a year for grocery shopping, representing a new and innovative shopping experience.

A neighbourhood supermarket for the weekly shop where the prices are accessible to everyone.

With this new opening, Carrefour gives the nod to food lovers, who will be able to buy at any time of the day or night, not only the classic products to be found in a supermarket, but also seasonal produce in the fruit and vegetable sector, produced locally, fresh fish at the counter, great traditional Italian specialities in the butchery sector, hot bread all day long, over 400 types of charcuterie and cheese, a rich wine cellar and a special selection on the food shelves.
