Retail partnership Market: Swisscom partners with MediaMarkt stores
Swisscom will start selling subscriptions and other Swisscom and Wingo products inside MediaMarkt stores, beginning Friday, 15 August 2026 in the Dietlikon ZH outlet. The rollout will be expanded to ten MediaMarkt branches in the coming weeks (including Lyssach, Basel SBB, Carouge, Meyrin, Kriens, St. Gallen, Crissier, Dietikon and Zürich Sihlcity). Unlike its placement in Mobilezone shops, Swisscom will rent its own sales areas inside MediaMarkt and staff them with Swisscom employees who will advise customers and complete sales. Swisscom said it does not plan further expansion into other electronics retailers such as Interdiscount. The article notes Sunrise has operated staffed sales stands in MediaMarkt and Interdiscount stores for over a decade and also runs more than 100 own shops.
Regional retail distribution partnership increases Swisscom's physical sales footprint and affects retail-channel competition in Switzerland, but it is not a major industry-shifting event for AdTech/MarTech.
