Tavira multi-million euro shopping centre

 

In what appears to be part of a shopping centre boom in the Algarve the Sonae Group has lent a significant financial boost to the eastern part of the region by inaugurating a €15 million shopping centre in Tavira that has directly created 273 jobs. Owned by Matifer and managed by the Sonae Group the Tavira Gran Plaza comprises four of the Group’s key base retail brands (Continente, Área Saúde, Bom Bocado and Book.It) as well as five specialist brands (Sport Zone, Worten, Worten Mobile, Modalfa and the Zippy Kidstore).

This recent opening is evidence that the Group continues to invest heavily in high-value projects that have the potential to stimulate local economy.

Sonae’s presence in the Algarve is now firmly established, with 65 shops (10 Worten, eight Worten Mobile, eight Modalfa, seven Sport Zone, six Área Saúde, six Modelo, five Continente, four Star Travel Agencies, three Maxmat DIY stores, two Bom Bocado, two Book.it, two Zippy, one Loop and one Vobis), as well as three shopping centres; Guia’s AlgarveShopping, Continente Shopping Centre in Portimão and the Modelo Shopping Centre in Albufeira. Altogether, the ventures have created more than 2,200 jobs across the region.

Pedro Salazar, Public Relations Manager for Sonae, said “With these new units we have increased our closeness to all Algarvean families and tourists who, year after year, seek this region and to whom we continue to offer the best value, found in our variety and quality of products, with the lowest prices on the market”.

Tavira Gran-Plaza was opened on June 5th and aims to serve the areas of Tavira, Vila Real Santo António, São Brás de Alportel and Olhão, offering 1,045 car parking spaces.
