Mercadona will open in Frielas, Loures, on October 16, the Spanish supermarket group announced in a statement reported by NM.

This new opening, the company explains, "represents an important step in strengthening Mercadona's presence in the municipality, bringing it even closer to its "Bosses" (customers)."

According to the Spanish group, "this new supermarket will generate around 90 new, stable, high-quality jobs, with permanent contracts from day one, thus contributing to the creation of local jobs."

The company also notes that "the opening of this new supermarket, which will be the second in the municipality (including the opening in Santa Iria de Azóia) and Mercadona's eighth in the Lisbon district, reflects the continuity of the company's expansion plan nationwide."

Mercadona announced last week that it will open in São Gens, Matosinhos, on October 9th at 9 a.m., at 3867 Rua de São Gens, Matosinhos.

"This new supermarket will generate approximately 65 new, stable, high-quality jobs, with permanent contracts from day one, thus contributing to local employment creation," the statement read.

The Spanish company will open its first supermarkets in Lisbon in November, located in Alta de Lisboa and Quinta do Lambert (Lumiar).
