Thus, Mercadona opens another store in the Alentejo region, where it already has a presence in the Évora and Setúbal districts.

The Beja store will be the sixth store opened in 2026 in Portugal, following openings in Lisbon, Viseu, Covilhã, Sintra, and Moita.

The company's expansion in Portugal doesn't end there, as it plans further expansion in 2026 in the North, specifically in Amarante, Esposende, Maia, and Vila Real. Mercadona will also arrive in the Algarve, more specifically in Portimão and Faro, with posters scattered throughout the streets indicating the arrival of the stores in the Algarve region.
