closed its operations in the city The ultra-fast delivery startup is also reorganising its store network in Lisbon having closed two and is preparing to open a new one by the end of the year “For strategic business management reasons, we will no longer deliver groceries through our own warehouses in Porto. On the other hand, in Lisbon, our restructuring allows us to cover practically the entire city with stores in Avenidas Novas, Benfica, Alcântara, and Olival Basto, and a fifth store will open soon”, says Manuel Castel-Branco, head of Bolt Food in Portugal, in a report by ECO The decision to stop delivering groceries in Porto comes just a few months after expanding its operations to the North in February where the company had seven stores (mini warehouses from which products are collected for home delivery) Bolt Market closed the stores in Alvalade and Parque das Nações “We are aiming for it to be in downtown Lisbon by the end of the year” “We are dedicated to fulfilling our mission of serving the Portuguese quickly and conveniently and that is what we will continue to work towards” Bolt's grocery delivery service entered the national market in November 2021 in Greater Lisbon with deliveries being made through Bolt Food and had “ambitious plans” to expand in the country the company put the expansion of Bolt Market on hold it is not part of Bolt Market's strategy to expand into new cities nationwide and there is no scheduled date for the opening of new stores After opening seven in the first half of this year our focus is on consolidating and growing the business in Lisbon” The entry into Porto took place about two years later but has now been suspended but it is something we hope to change in the future” The company says that the decision had no impact on staff There is a new controversy in the management of the works for the construction of the Violet
