Photo: MDB Digital Spanish supermarket giant Mercadona has opened its first next-generation store in Mallorca, with the new-look supermarket launching in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar following an investment of more than €3 million. The revamped concept focuses heavily on fresh produce, energy efficiency and faster shopping, as the retailer continues modernising stores across Spain. The supermarket has been redesigned to make shopping more intuitive, moving away from the traditional department layout in favour of a process-based system aimed at improving customer flow and reducing waiting times. Mercadona says the changes will also help staff work more efficiently during restocking and day-to-day operations. One of the biggest additions is a new central preparation hub where fresh food is cut, cooked and packaged in one area. The company says the setup improves quality control while increasing shelf space for fresh products. It also claims the redesign can cut water use by up to 40% and reduce energy consumption by around 10%. The store also introduces new technology aimed at streamlining operations, including digital management tools and upgraded refrigeration systems designed to reduce cold air loss and improve sustainability. Mercadona says the use of CO[2] refrigeration will help lower the store's environmental impact. The Mallorca opening forms part of Mercadona's wider rollout of the "Tienda 9" model, which is expected to replace older formats between 2026 and 2033 as part of a multi-billion-euro investment programme. The new store also includes a customer rest area, parking for electric vehicles and bicycles, and expanded facilities to support growing online shopping demand on the island.
