On 18 March symbolic inauguration with the opening of the shop in Palermo
The retail network in Italy of Arcaplanet is growing, one of the leaders in the Pet sector, which has about 2 million loyal customers and a vast range of products and services dedicated to four-legged friends, and which is about to inaugurate one of over 520 points of sale in Italy, in the setting of Piazza Aldo Moro in Palermo. A further step towards the expansion plan aimed at the South. To celebrate the ribbon-cutting of the Sicilian store, a one-day event is scheduled for March 18, in which the actress and film producer, Maria Grazia Cucinotta, will be the protagonist. This Arcaplanet store, together with others that will be built in Palermo, is the result of the reconversion of the Max Casa stores. In Sicily, the ribbons will soon be cut in another 18 points of sale also in cities such as Catania, Modica, Caltagirone, Syracuse, Messina, Capo d’Orlando, Bagheria, Castelvetrano and Marsala.
For the occasion, Arcaplanet will donate 18,000 meals to the Enpa sections of Carini, Palermo and Trapani to support animals in need. In all the reconverted stores in Sicily, Arcaplanet has chosen to hire the employees already employed in the Max Casa stores; thus keeping 50 collaborators on the staff, to whom it undertakes to offer an ad hoc training course. For the managing director Nicolò Galante, the investments for 2023 have been designed precisely for the benefit of the new hires, providing for a training plan by the Arcaplanet Academy.
Over 60,000 hours of training were already offered in 2022, especially in the field of Pet specialists, and this commitment will continue with a 30% increase in hours also in the current year. Arcaplanet thus renews its constant commitment in the training sector, promoting the internal growth of its employees with personalized career development plans. The retail expansion plan, and beyond, expected in the current year, will also include a strong increase in omnichannel services with the launch of the new app with services, the click & collect already chosen by 25% of digital customers, and the complete revision of the loyalty program integrated by the implementation of a sophisticated marketing automation. On the weekend of March 17th and 18th, an extra 30% discount will be applied in all Sicilian stores.
