The Southwest Retail Park, which is being built next to the Alcantarilha roundabout on the EN125 and next to one of the accesses to Via do Infante, represents an investment of around 25 million euros, will house 20 brands and should open next summer year.
According to its promoters, the company Retail Mind Global Retail Services, it is "one of the largest" developments of its kind "in Portugal and the largest in the Algarve region". It is expected to create 120 jobs in the construction phase and around 500 when it starts operating.
Among the brands that will be present in the new retail park, there is a Continente supermarket, a space for home appliances from Rádio Popular, as well as insignia in the decoration sector such as Homa and Espaço Casa, and also Burger King, in the sector of restoration.
"These are some of the brands included in this commercial complex, which already has a sales rate above 80%", add the promoters.
Vítor Rocha, general director of Retail Mind, says that it is “with great satisfaction that we see the beginning of the construction of this project, which will certainly be a reference for the region. We closely monitor the growth of numerous retail brands, who trust in our work to help them grow and go even further. The diversified commercial mix, with which we created this project, has relevant brands in the national and international panorama and highlights the unique attractiveness of this project».
