Mercadona opened its first supermarket in the district of Beja on September 3. This opening represents the arrival of the Spanish supermarket chain in this region of the interior Alentejo.
The opening in the district of Beja occurred approximately one month before Mercadona officially arrived in the Algarve. This means that Algarve customers had to wait a few more weeks to have access to a chain store in the tourist destination.
Mercadona is a supermarket chain of Spanish origin that has been expanding its presence in Portugal. The opening in the district of Beja marks an important step in this strategy of expansion throughout Portuguese territory.
