SAMPEDRO HOME TEXTILES RENOVATES FACTORY STORE AND EXPANDS OFFER

Sampedro's home textiles retail space has been remodeled, with a contemporary industrial design concept and a wider store layout. "The original layout of the structure has been maintained. We can see the marks of time on it, a symbolic appeal to the antiquity of a company with 102 years of history." "The refurbishment was divided into sectors. In one part, there is an exhibition of our own collection, developed specifically for Portugal and Spain," explains Diogo Gomes, commercial manager, in statements to T Jornal, giving the example of articles for bed, table and bath, "in various qualities, such as 100% cotton, 100% linen and mixed, in prints, jacquards, reds in yarn and plain," he lists. Another area is overproduction: "loose parts made to order for our international customers, as well as items with slight defects, most of which are unnoticeable," adds the commercial manager.

The Vimaranense company sees this outlet as an opportunity to give customers access to high-quality products at very low prices, as well as a way of reusing its waste in the name of sustainability. It should also be noted that an area dedicated to the sale of fabrics by the meter has been created to encourage handicraft projects and a commitment has been made to communication on social networks in order to attract a younger audience.

"The feedback from visitors has been very positive. We've noticed an increase in the number of purchases per customer, perhaps as a result of this new, more intuitive and easier arrangement of items," says store manager Catarina Machado. The space is right next to the production unit. Opening hours are Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:00. The creation of an online store is planned for the beginning of 2024.
