A Store

A Store is a general household shop in San Ġwann, on the road known as Triq in-Naxxar, with lighting at the heart of its range. Behind the name sits a very wide stock, from lamps and bulbs to tools, kitchenware, gadgets and toys, which makes it the sort of shop where you go in for one thing and come out having solved three small problems around the house.

It is listed in our directories of electronics shops in Malta and gift shops in Malta. For UK visitors with a self-catering stay, or newcomers setting up a home, a single stop for light fittings, kitchen items and phone accessories saves time.

What the shop sells

The core collection is lighting: lamps, shades and bulbs, together with other gadgets and homeware. Beyond that, the shop describes a vast variety of items, including home decor, tools, kitchenware, telephony, pet items, sound systems, CCTV and toys.

That breadth suits a few typical needs. A new tenant can buy bulbs, a lamp and a few kitchen basics in one visit, a homeowner can look at security cameras or sound equipment, and a visitor needing a charger, cable or small gadget can browse the telephony shelves. The shop also lists featured, new, most popular and sale products on its website, so it is worth checking what is on offer.

The business's stated mission is to serve more customers with quality products and reliable service, with a focus on satisfaction, innovation, efficiency and long-term value.

Ordering online and installation help

A Store runs an online shop with the promise of delivery within two days anywhere in Malta, and orders can also be collected in store. That is useful if you are based in Sliema, St Julian's or further north and do not want to travel, or if you would rather check stock before making the trip.

If you have a problem installing something, the shop's technicians can help for a small additional fee, which is not stated on the site. You can leave a note when placing your order or ask the shop to arrange an appointment. This is especially handy for light fittings and CCTV, where a fitter saves a lot of fuss.

The business also has a wallpanel showroom with its own contact line, so anyone looking at wall panelling for a renovation can ask about it separately.

Who it suits and practical tips

A-Store suits residents fitting out a flat or house, landlords who need fast replacements, small businesses that want lighting or CCTV, and visitors in self-catering accommodation who have run short of a bulb, an adaptor or a kitchen tool. Malta uses the same three-pin plugs as the UK, so British appliances and chargers plug straight in.

When you order, describe the item and the fitting you need as clearly as you can, and mention in the order note if you would like a technician to call. Because the stock is so varied and changes over time, the quickest way to find out whether something is in stock is to ask, and you can do that through the enquiry form on this page.

Prices are shown on the shop's website and change, so this page does not repeat them. Items marked as sale on the site are worth a look if you are furnishing a home on a budget.

Finding A Store in San Ġwann

The shop is on Triq in-Naxxar, San Ġwann SGN 9030, in the built-up central-east of the island between the coast and the middle of Malta. Customers are invited to visit during normal business hours, and the website offers directions and a WhatsApp message option.

Other businesses in the area include AM Language school, Animal Aid Veterinary Clinic and APS Bank in Birkirkara, which are all a short drive away. Gift hunters can also look at a local florist such as Alistair Floral Design.
