Located in the energetic center of Andorra la Vella, Pyrénées Andorra is a harmonic mix of modernism and legacy of the Principality. Found on the busy Meritxell Avenue, this venerable department store has long been a pillar of Andorra’s commercial and cultural scene. With its wide range of products, sophisticated services, and rich history, Pyrénées Andorra continues to enthrall both residents and tourists from its modest beginnings in the 1930s to its present status as a vibrant retail center.
The roots of Pyrénées Andorra have their roots in the 1930s when the Pérez family founded “Establiments Pyrénées” among the serene mountains of Andorra. The Principality was mostly rural at the time, with cattle and farming forming the foundation of its trade. But as Andorra became a commercial destination driven by competitive prices on goods imported from France, which were not available in surrounding Spain, the scene started to change.
Grabbing this chance, the Pérez family grew their business and positioned Grans Magatzems Pyrénées as a leader in the developing retail industry. With its wide range of products and dedication to quality, the company developed into a major player in Andorra’s economy over one generation and drew both residents and visitors.
Today, Pyrénées Andorra, housed within its vast Hyper Centre, is associated with a first-rate shopping experience. The store presents a carefully chosen range of goods to suit a broad spectrum of tastes and preferences.
An extensive fragrance and cosmetics section welcomes guests, where a wide range of skincare products and perfumes is waiting. Along with a well-selected collection of accessories to accentuate any outfit, the fashion department provides the newest designs for men, women, and children. The sports and mountain section guarantees that every need is satisfied for sports fans since it features premium equipment for a variety of activities.
With the freshest produce and gourmet items in the Principality, the store’s food section is a highlight in itself. From Ametller Origener, handcrafted cheeses from all around the world, and special gastronomic treats meant to tantalize the palate, consumers can enjoy seasonal fruits and vegetables as well as artistic cheeses.
The household department on the third floor is a paradise for home aficionados with a wide range of décor and useful objects that elegantly mix utility with style.
Pyrénées Andorra provides an amazing array of gastronomic choices, so surpassing the conventional shopping experience. The Medacorba cafeteria, a welcoming area for a quick coffee or snack, is on the ground floor. Rising to the third floor exposes a rainbow of dining options, including the Terrassa, a vibrant and laid-back space ideal for casual meals, the Creperie, and the Bohème Restaurant.
The Grill Buffet offers a range of culinary arts for those looking for a feast, from fine cheeses and fresh seafood to luscious meats and decadent desserts. Every location is meant to enhance the whole shopping experience by offering leisurely and entertaining breaks among the daily activities.
