BarcelonaThe supermarket chain Bon Preu will open five new establishments during this last quarter of the year, which will involve an investment of 58.3 million euros and the creation of more than 250 jobs. These include three Esclat stores in Castellar del Vallès, Palafolls, and Sabadell, the latter already inaugurated on October 14, and two Bonpreu supermarkets in Cerdanyola del Vallès and Barcelona. In addition, this month of October an EsclatOil gas station and a minimarket have also been inaugurated in Pallejà, and there are plans to open two more EsclatOil gas stations in Castellar del Vallès and Palafolls.

The family company highlights that, as in all the group's supermarkets, "in these new establishments, fresh and local products are the main focus". With these new establishments, the Bon Preu Group "consolidates the growth pace maintained throughout 2026, taking into account that it already opened four establishments during the first months of the year", according to a statement.

Throughout the year, the company will have expanded its presence in different parts of the territory with new establishments under the Bonpreu and Esclat brands, which "reinforces its commitment to bringing a complete and high-quality commercial offer to customers throughout Catalonia". Furthermore, the company is expanding its ecosystem with the development of new gas stations and complementary services.

100 million investment

The Bon Preu Group will end 2026 with more than 100 million euros invested and will have created more than 400 jobs from new openings alone. The Catalan distribution company thus continues with its expansion plan, which it intends to continue by opening new establishments and growing in all businesses and logistics platforms during 2027.

All of the group's new supermarkets incorporate measures to optimize energy consumption, and the facilities are controlled by a management and control system that regulates them automatically to achieve maximum efficiency, comfort, and safety. In addition, whenever the establishment allows it, solar panels are installed on the roof.

In food, the group offers its products through Bonpreu and Esclat establishments and BonpreuEsclat online, as well as fuels with EsclatOil and energy with BonpreuEsclat Energia. Currently, the Bon Preu Group has 140 Bonpreu supermarkets, 66 Esclat stores, and 18 minimarkets. Through BonpreuEsclat online, it serves more than 6 million people with home delivery and 31 pickup centers. It has 75 EsclatOil gas stations and more than 400 charging points for electric vehicles, and with BonpreuEsclat Energia, it supplies electricity to the whole country.
