The Market Puerto Rico is the new, fresh, concept commercial centre opening to the public on January 31 2019.
This much anticipated new space in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria aim to offer something very different by way of commercial spaces, they say, “led by gastronomy and food, with a varied range of organic produce.”
This is to be the first full-time “Food Market” on the south of ​​Gran Canaria, to define itself through providing fresh produce daily.
26 businesses will operate from the new leisure and shopping centre “where quality, innovation and the most creative offerings prevail.”
The Market aims itself at being a “place to find the unexpected.” Doing things differently, creatively, and uniquely is, they say, what will set them apart and help them to stand out with “an authentic formula of doing, of trying, of being …”
They are committed to a new responsible business model. A relationship based on transparency. A shopping centre involved with its surroundings, utilising efficient and sustainable architecture.
If one thing defines them, they say, it is their “love of fresh produce, of the land, each faithful to its season and its naturalness.” They aim to take full advantage of the resources that this privileged area of the island can offer.
“Shopping with soul for people who buy with the heart.”
