Transforming HiperDino: A Look at the New HiperDino Express in El Cotillo
HiperDino, a prominent supermarket chain in the Canary Islands, is actively upgrading its stores this year, enhancing the shopping experience for its customers. Just two weeks ago, the company unveiled the renovation of its HiperDino Express store located in the quaint village of El Cotillo. This transformation aims to meet the rising demands of its diverse clientele, particularly considering that El Cotillo attracts a significant number of tourists throughout the year.
A Comprehensive Renovation
The HiperDino Express in El Cotillo has undergone a complete overhaul, significantly expanding its facilities. With an investment nearing one million euros, the store now boasts an impressive 437 square meters dedicated to sales, out of a total area of 558 square meters. Shoppers can now enjoy a wider selection of products, which includes dedicated sections for bakery items, fresh produce, perfumery, a wine cellar, organic products, and frozen foods.
The redesign not only modernizes the layout but also enhances operational efficiency. According to Felipe Díaz, the coordinator of HiperDino Express (HDX) in the Canary Islands, this renovation aligns the store’s offerings with the evolving preferences and needs of the community.
Modernizing Customer Experience
Felipe Díaz emphasized the importance of these renovations in his statement about the new store design. He noted that the improvements extend beyond mere aesthetics; they are designed to enhance the operational flow and the quality of service provided to customers. With El Cotillo being a popular tourist destination, especially from April onward, these upgrades are timely and crucial for both local residents and visitors.
Díaz further highlighted that this renovation is part of HiperDino’s broader strategy to invest significantly in the reform of its HiperDino Express locations. The chain currently operates 93 HDX stores across the Canary Islands and plans to launch 21 additional stores in Mallorca by the end of April. This expansion shows HiperDino’s commitment to providing customers with a wide variety of high-quality, locally-sourced fresh products.
Meeting Tourist Needs
The shopping preferences in the Canary Islands often lean towards a more tourist-centric approach. Díaz pointed out that the renovations are not merely cosmetic; they include a thoughtful selection of products that cater specifically to tourists visiting the islands. HiperDino Express aims to be more than just a supermarket; it strives to be a place where visitors can find the essentials they need while experiencing the local culture through fresh produce and specialty items.
Energy Efficiency Initiatives
In line with modern sustainable practices, the renovation of the El Cotillo store also incorporates several energy-efficient features. This includes the installation of LED lighting in the sales area and a telemanagement system by Danfoss. This system will facilitate the regulation of lighting, signage, and air conditioning, effectively optimizing the supermarket’s energy consumption and maintaining the cold chain for perishable goods.
New Location and Hours
For those eager to explore the renovated store, HiperDino Express is conveniently located at Calle Los Lagos, 7. The store operates daily from 08:00 to 22:00 hours, making it accessible for both early risers and night shoppers alike.
With its fresh look and improved services, the HiperDino Express in El Cotillo stands as a testament to the supermarket chain’s commitment to enhancing the shopping experience in the Canary Islands. Whether you’re a local resident or a tourist, this newly renovated space is set to cater to all your shopping needs with style and efficiency.
