Ecommerce News found that La Rinascente will launch its own online store in June. According to the statement, they supposed to launch an online store in March, but the coronavirus stopped them. This way, they are currently in the testing phase, expecting to improve the service by the next month.

La Rinascente’s CEO says the potential for its online store is enormous.

This is demonstrated, for example, by our on-demand service via WhatsApp, which brings us sales of over 5 million euros. And when Rinascente is allowed to welcome customers back in their stores after the lockdown is over, the department store will start with high discounts
