With the reality and commercial implications of on-line sales compounded further by cross-border selling and the general low standard of retail in Malta at the time, we identified the strategic necessity and opportunity of retail. Having invested heavily at all levels of our operations, we have established retail brands that are at par with quality European stores and give customers and Publishers the opportunities that up to recently were non-existent in Malta.

Our flagship retail brand, Agenda now operates as the leading books and magazines retailer in Malta. Today, Agenda Bookshop with stores in high profile, heavy footfall areas like the Airport, the Malta University Campus, the Cruise Liner Terminal and the main shopping malls, is a household name in this market. Offering the very latest International best sellers and a wide selection of new titles on a daily basis, our offer is as wide and deep as would be expected of leading bookshops in the UK.

Bookends is our book bargain retail brand offering great value books at prices well below their original published prices. We carry a huge range of subjects and the concept of brand new books at drastically reduced prices has been well accepted and established. Bookends has rapidly gained a strong reputation for genuine bargain books and prices.

Newskiosk is our small footprint brand used in high traffic areas offering a wide range of local and international newspapers, magazines, books, mobile telephone services and confectionery. Typically open until late in the evening, the concept has worked well and is a useful service to Tourists and Maltese customers 7 days a week.

8 Till Late is our new concept Convenience Store aimed at providing all day, late evening and weekend shoppers a wide range of consumer products. A Pharmacy, also operated by Miller Retail is now located adjacent to the Convenience Store at Malta international Airport.

8 Till Late currently operates from four locations: Malta's National Hospital Mater Dei, Malta International Airport, St Julians and Bugibba Promenade. As the brand implies, all Stores operate late into the evening.

The 8 Till late outlets are high profile and finished to the highest standards offering customers a convenient and enjoyable shopping experience in Malta's prime and easily accessible locations.

Pharmacy Operations - The latest addition to the MDL retail group, the MIA Pharmacy offers the public the unique luxury of longer operating hours. Whilst this is a heavily regulated activity, we view this as an area of expansion and opportunity in the future.
