Rusta is opening 14 new stores this autumn across all four markets, bringing the 2026 total to a record 27 new stores and 258 stores overall, with the eleventh German store opening in Dortmund on November 12. Continued footprint growth supports the growth story, but this is execution of an already communicated expansion strategy rather than new guidance, so the price effect should be limited.
