Mercadona Taguspark

The 39th supermarket of the Spanish Mercadona chain was inaugurated on December 15, 2022, on land belonging to Taguspark, in Barcarena, in the municipality of Oeiras. Located next to the largest Science and Technology Park in Portugal - Taguspark and the luxurious Oeiras Golf & Residence development, it quickly became a pole of attraction, bringing consumers from Oeiras, Lisbon and Sintra who fill this commercial space daily.

The reason is known, being the second to open in the Lisbon district, the anxiety was great on the part of consumers who already know the quality of its products and the excellence of its service in Spain. Another reason is the differentiation of its products, many of which are private label, and which do not exist in other supermarket chains. The extensive range of gluten-free (more than 750 products) or lactose-free products are also highly sought after.

The supermarket has a sales area of 1,900 m2 divided between the butchery, fish, deli, pastry and bakery sections, dairy products, perfumery, home and pet care, fruit and vegetables, wine cellar and "Pronto a Comer" with several options of dishes prepared for takeaway or heating and eating in a specific space inside the supermarket.
