Squadra Mondo will focus on the Stäfa, Altendorf, Steinhausen and Oftringen locations in future. The branch in Steinhausen will be supplemented with an outlet center. The aim is to offer a store format of 600 to 900 square meters in the future, which has proven to be ideal for the attractive presentation of a comprehensive range of products. During store closures, Squadra Mondo representatives had repeatedly emphasized that these branches were too small to successfully present and market the portfolio.
