Reading the figures

The 770 stores are a record drawn from Foursquare Open Places, not a count published by the brand — this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish.

The reach indicators — coverage, index by region — are robust to that bias: they measure a distance and a population, which a location described twice does not move. Recorded .

Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur nos solutions.

How many stores does Despar have in Italy?

The record of 23 August 2026 identifies 770 Despar stores in Italy, across 20 regions.

The figure serves to compare networks rather than to count stores.

What share of Italy does Despar reach?

34.1 % of the population lives within 5 kilometres of a Despar, and 55.7 % within 10 kilometres. Coverage counts each population cell once, however many locations reach it, which makes it insensitive to the double-counting that affects raw location totals.
