Mercadona opens in the Algarve with supermarket in Portimão

Jornal do Algarve15 September 2026 at 11:39

Mercadona will open a new supermarket in Portimão on October 15th, integrated in Nova Vila Retail Park. This will be the first presence of the Spanish chain in the Algarve, marking a significant expansion for the region.

The company states that the new store will allow it to get closer to its customers, providing a quality service based on proximity, convenience and satisfaction of consumer needs.

The opening of the supermarket in Portimão is part of a national expansion plan for the company, reinforcing Mercadona's presence in the Portuguese market.

Why this matters

Algarve consumers gain a new supermarket option in the Portimão region, which may bring more competition to the local food retail sector. This opening represents the arrival of one of the largest Spanish supermarket chains in the Algarve, following a national expansion plan by Mercadona in Portugal.
