Reading the figures

The 362 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 .

Frequently asked questions about MD in Italy

Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur nos solutions.

How many stores does MD have in Italy?

The record of 23 August 2026 identifies 362 MD stores in Italy, across 18 regions. This is a record, not an official count: this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish. The figure serves to compare networks rather than to count stores.

What share of Italy does MD reach?

29.4 % of the population lives within 5 kilometres of a MD, and 48.7 % 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.
