It'll be interesting to see what changes they do in a month.

I don't understand why they need a bigger store (they got permission to do it last year, and they've been working in the basement, next to the underground car park for the last month) as the range of products is similar to the larger store at Las Honduras, Puerto del Rosario.

As they don't do offers and product lines hardly ever change, then it does seem unnecessary. Maybe, the competition from Lidl, when it opens, next door is the reason behind it.

Just a reminder that the Mercadona on the Costa de Antigua Industrial estate will be closed for alerations from 22 September.

The nearest other Mercadona is on the La Hondura industrial estate at the north of Puerto del Rosario.

Mercadona closed at 3pm today, and the mini diggers have moved in already and started to demolish the southern side.

I haven't been yet.  I'll keep away until all the interest dies down.  My cupboards and freezer are well stocked.

Went on Tuesday, reopening day.

More spacious, a lot more refrigerated cabinets, new trolleys which are great, different sizes for all shopping, most tills open, tills now weigh fruit and veg so no need to do it yourself.

All in all very impressive.

I went in for the first time since the refit. 

Some things are in different places, but the main thing is that they have moved the freezers and created more space in the fruit and veg area.  There are also upright freezers for icecream.

All the 'ready made' foods have been put together in an extra bit to the shop which goes out towards the storeroom - a bit strange.

The shop has a new glass front to it, but they have to use blinds to shield the check out area from the sun.

They've also got new trolleys which don't need a coin, and there's a sign saying you can't take the trolleys away.

The lifts down to the car park have either been replaced or renovated.

There doesn't appear to be any new products available.

There are also 3 new electric car charging points in the underground car park.
