Italian home and personal care goods store Risparmio Casa has announced it will be opening three new stores in Malta between 2026 and the first quarter, and intends to cover the entire Maltese territory within five years.

The new stores will involve an investment of €10 million, following an agreement with TUM Finance, which is acquiring and fitting out the properties. TUM Finance also indirectly holds a 25 per cent stake in Risparmio Casa Malta. 

Risparmio Casa said it will be replicating the format inaugurated in its flagship store in Mosta, launched in 2024, with 1,000 square metres of retail space hosting 20,000 items, with 400 new items per month and a wide range of items under €2.

The format will also be replicated in future international markets, it said.

“Malta, together with Switzerland, confirms the competitiveness of our model beyond national borders,” said Risparmio Casa Co-Founder Stefano Battistelli. “Each new opening strengthens our ability to generate economic value, skilled employment, and an accessible offering for families.”

Risparmio Casa is accelerating its international expansion in a new phase of growth, as it aims to reach a total of 400 stores and make 2,500 new hires. The company currently operates 187 stores, almost all of which are in its home market of Italy. It also has two stores in Switzerland and one in Malta.

Alongside its international expansion, Risparmio Casa will also continue the development of its private label brands, which currently represent over a third of its product range. Further expansion of the private label lines is planned for 2026, particularly in the personal care categories.

The push for private labels and international expansion confirm the Battistelli family's industrial vision: to grow in Europe while maintaining solidity, affordability, and proximity to consumer needs.
