Intermarché outlines Portuguese plans | Progresiv

Intermarché plans to open 10 new stores in Portugal in 2016. Part of plans to boost market share over next four years

This year's expansion forms part of a bigger plan running up to 2020. The retailer will reportedly invest 200 million euros to open 63 Intermarché stores and 90 forecourts as it seeks to grow its market share in the country and strengthen ahead of the entry of Mercadona in 2019.

Intermarché relaunched its online store in Portugal earlier this year, simultaneously extending the reach to new areas of the country, and adding Drive and home delivery services in new areas. Intermarché said the store was redesigned following feedback from shoppers, to make it more functional and easier to find associated products. (www.igd.com)
