Our merchants
Who welcomes us every day at the circuit-affiliated stores? Find out who they are and their stories
Welcome to the beating heart of MyLugano, where every day we are welcomed with sincere smiles by the merchants who enliven our affiliated stores. Behind each storefront is a story to discover, a passion to share. Our format “The Faces and Stories of Our Merchants” is a unique opportunity to meet those who make every shopping experience in Lugano special.
From family tradition to a passion for innovation, each story is an invitation to learn more about who is behind the stores we love to frequent. Learn how our merchants turn their work into a personal mission, putting their hearts into what they do, creating a special connection with the community.
