SIRIO PROTAGONIST OF THE CARREFOUR BISTROT EXPERIENCE: THE BISTROT INSIDE SHOPVILLE GRAN RENO IN CASALECCHIO DI RENO (BO) IS LAUNCHED

The expansion of the new bistrot format born from the collaboration between Sirio

and Carrefour Italia continues

Ravenna, 18 December 2020 - Sirio S.p.A. (AIM:SIO), leading operator in the Italian "hospital" commercial catering market, announces the opening of the Carrefour Bistrot inside Shopville Gran Reno in Casalecchio di Reno (BO).

It is a strategic touchpoint in line with new restaurant trends, made successful by the skilful blend of tradition and innovation, the Bistrot Carrefour presents itself as a place of "craftsmanship", with a strong focus on fresh and quality products thanks to the careful selection of Made in Italy and/or local producers.

Bistrot Carrefour is more than a cafeteria, where in addition to tasting espresso-based products, you can enjoy a wide variety of sweet and savoury products, first courses, grilled and fried dishes, all prepared express, with a focus on typical local dishes.

The format strongly emphasises flexibility in order to respond in a structured manner to the different tastes and habits of customers. This translates into a wide range of products, the daily opening hours of the restaurant, which are synergic with those of the hypermarket, and the possibility of different ways of eating: at the counter, on the spot with a tray sitting at the table, and take-away.

Bistrot Carrefour is a place where consumers will be happy to stop for a tasteful break during their shopping and consume products prepared on site, safely and in full compliance with anti-Covid regulations.

Stefania Atzori, CEO of Sirio, stated as follows: "We are proud of the partnership with Carrefour Italia for the realisation of this new restaurant project within the large-scale retail trade. Bistrot Carrefour represents another important step forward in times of pandemic for a company that continues to look ahead with the courage of those who have faith in their work."
