Mercadona opens supermarket in Portimão on October 15th

Barlavento15 September 2026 at 10:34

Mercadona will open its first supermarket in the Algarve region on October 15th. The new store will be located at Nova Vila Retail Park, in Portimão.

This opening is part of Mercadona's expansion plan in Portuguese territory. The Spanish chain has been growing in Portugal with new stores in different locations across the country.

With this opening, consumers in Portimão and surrounding areas will have access to the products and services offered by Mercadona. The company is of Spanish origin and operates in several European countries.

Why this matters

Consumers in Portimão and the Algarve region will now have access to a new supermarket chain, which could bring greater competition in the food retail sector and potentially influence prices and shopping options in the area. This opening also represents a milestone in Mercadona's regional expansion in Portugal.
