Mercadona starts up a second hive, a logistics warehouse for online business, in the Community of Madrid. The new center is in Boadilla del Monte, it is smaller than the previous ones, but it reinforces the service of the one it has, since 2020, in the town of Getafe.
13.2 million euros have been invested in it and it will have a staff of 150 people. Initially, as reported by the company, it will serve Boadilla del Monte, Alcorcón and Villaviciosa de Odón, to gradually extend its service to other areas of the Community of Madrid such as Leganés, Parla or Tres Cantos.
All customers who receive their purchase in these new areas will have access to the new online store through the website or the app with photos and which has shipments from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., in 2-hour periods, from Monday to Saturday. In addition, the company chaired by Juan Roig assures that they will continue to "improve the service" and have already begun to sell online products from their "Ready to Eat" area, such as their popular tortilla or the Russian salad.
The general director of Mercadona Online, Juana Roig, has highlighted that "with this hive in Boadilla we extend the new online purchase to more customers in the Community of Madrid, which is one of our main markets. We continue to take steps so that the maximum number of customers can buy online at Mercadona in a simple and comfortable way, in addition to generating a sustainable business in the long term”.
With the project that Mercadona presents today, it adds one more to those that it has already implemented in Valencia, Barcelona, Getafe, Alicante and Seville and with which the company has continued to strengthen the development of its online shopping service in Spain, a project that continues growing and currently has 2,700 workers.
The online channel at Mercadona registered a turnover of 540 million euros in 2022, 20% still comes from the old website and 80% comes from the new system with a new website and app.
