Eataly becomes more and more American and approaches Piazza Affari. The Christmas creature Oscar Farinetti founder of the chain of high-end food stores, also owned by the vehicle Clubitaly, promoted by Gianni Tamburi's Tip, aims to go public in 2017, transforming the group that today refers to the Farinetti family (it owns 61% of the Eativest holding which in turn owns 58,7% of Eataly) into a real public company.
The first step will be the redefinition of the company shares for the benefit of the minority shareholders of the Eataly USA branch, who will enter directly into the capital of the Italian operating parent company: CEO Andrea Guerra is about to define the final details of the agreement that will bring the well-known restaurateur and TV face of Sky, Joe Bastianich, the mother Lidia, the chef Mario Batali (all united in the B&B Hospitality Group) and the brothers Adam and Alex Saper (operating partners active in the development of the American business of the supermarket chain) in the capital of Eataly srl.
The various souls of the complex corporate structure - only in the holding at the top of the pyramid are there a total of 17 shareholders - are therefore about to re-determine the various weights in the field also on the basis of the value of the business produced by Eataly in the States, where, among other things, the second 1 thousand square meter store in New York at Ground Zero will be inaugurated on 4 August.
