El Corte Inglés Files Request to Build New Store in Porto

30 October 2019 – The Spanish retailer El Corte Inglés has filed a Request for Prior Information (PIP) with the Porto City Council to erect a new store in the city. The retailer plans to build the new store on the grounds of the former Boavista railway station.

The Spanish group’s exact plans for the new store, including its total area, depend on the city council’s response to the PIP. In early October, El Corte Inglés stated that the plot of land in Boavista, where the Spanish company had already considered building a store way back in 2003, continues to be “a strategic location” that “make commercial sense.”
