Largest Pandora store unveiled in Portugal
The city of Porto has welcomed a new addition to its retail landscape with the opening of Pandora's flagship store on Rua de Santa Catarina. This store, spanning 120 m², is not just significant for being the brand’s largest store in Portugal, but also as their first street-level store in Porto, located on one of the city's most central and emblematic shopping streets[1][2].
The store's unique location next to the iconic Capela das Almas offers high visibility in a setting rich in heritage and tourism value, making it a strategic retail spot[1][2]. This location consolidates Porto as a strategic and essential destination for major national and international brands, reflecting its growing appeal in the high-street retail market[1][2].
The store's design is Porto-inspired, adding to the local retail experience[2]. It features exclusive services like in-store engraving, enhancing the customer experience. The store opening reinforces Porto’s retail dynamism, strengthening its status as a key retail destination in Portugal[1][2][3].
Industry experts like Susana Pires, Senior Retail Consultant at Cushman & Wakefield, emphasize that the store’s opening reinforces the city's commercial heart and supports the development of Porto's retail sector by attracting prominent brands and increasing retail activity[1][2][3].
The lease of the Porto-inspired Pandora flagship store was facilitated by Cushman & Wakefield. The company also played a role in the lease negotiation for the largest Pandora store in Denmark, demonstrating their expertise in managing leases for major brands[1][2][3].
By establishing a major international brand presence in a high-profile, heritage-rich location, the Pandora flagship store contributes to Porto’s retail dynamism. It strengthens Porto’s status as a key retail destination in Portugal, enhances customer experience with exclusive services and local design elements, supports the ongoing development and visibility of the city’s primary shopping street, and boosts economic and tourism interaction in Porto’s central shopping district[1][2][3].
