Ribrudi opens new store at Aveiro Center

Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) announces the opening of a new Ribrudi store at Aveiro Center, a retail complex exclusively managed and leased by the consultancy. The Portuguese brand inaugurated its new 1,562 m² space on November 4.
Offering a diverse range of home décor items, household products, and garden accessories, the new store features a refreshed concept and strengthens Aveiro Center’s home and decoration segment. This is the Portuguese brand’s second physical store, following its first location in Barcelos.
According to João Esteves, Head of Retail Agency at Cushman & Wakefield, “this operation complements the commercial offering of Aveiro Center, one of the region’s leading shopping destinations. With more than 1,500 m², the new store provides a wide variety of décor items and solutions for the home and garden. We are pleased to continue supporting the owner in the development of this retail complex, a partnership we have maintained since 2010 and which has helped strengthen its attractiveness and relevance in the region.”

Aveiro Center is a well-established retail destination comprising a shopping gallery and a retail park, located next to the Taboeira Industrial Zone in Aveiro. With approximately 31,000 m² and more than 40 stores, it is anchored by the region’s largest Continente hypermarket and includes retailers such as Worten, Sportzone, MO, Tiffosi, Vilanova, Parfois, Tiendanimal, Darty, Pepco, HOMYCASA, and Feu Vert. The complex was recently awarded the BREEAM In-Use – Part 1 certification, achieving a “Very Good” rating.

Earlier this year, Aveiro Center also announced a renovation plan focused on upgrading common areas, including green spaces, circulation zones, and façades, as well as introducing a new visual identity through the implementation of a new logo aligned with the retail complex’s aesthetics.

The asset benefits from direct access via the A25, A17, and EN109 roads and offers approximately 1,800 free parking spaces. The new opening results from the joint efforts of Cushman & Wakefield’s leasing and property management teams, aimed at diversifying the retail mix and strengthening Aveiro Center’s position as a leading shopping destination in the region.

“We are extremely pleased to open this Ribrudi store at Aveiro Center. We are confident that the quality and uniqueness of our products, recognized through more than three decades in the market, will win over the people of Aveiro,” said Américo Carvalho, representative of Ribrudi.
