La Petisquera, the long-established Paraguayan retailer and an integral part of the Mannah Group, has opened a new store in Asunción, marking a new chapter in the company’s expansion in Paraguay.
Located in Villa Morra, one of the capital’s key commercial districts, the new store covers 800 sqm and offers perfumes and cosmetics, wines and spirits, confectionery, and electronics and technology, with a broad selection of international products.
The opening brings to the capital the retail expertise that La Petisquera has developed over more than five decades in its border shops in Ciudad del Este. The Mannah Group already has an established presence in Asunción through its import and distribution operations in the domestic market and is now expanding its retail presence in the capital.
Company President Mohamad “Alejandro” Mannah said:
“Asunción has always been an important market for our group, and opening La Petisquera in the capital represents a natural step in the evolution of our business. We are bringing to Asunción more than fifty years of retail experience, our longstanding relationships with international brands, and the standards of service and product selection that have shaped La Petisquera’s history in Ciudad del Este. This is a project we have been planning for some time, and we are very pleased with the result and excited about this new chapter for the company.”
Established in 1970, La Petisquera now operates five stores in Paraguay. Its four Ciudad del Este locations include two stores on Avenida Monseñor Rodríguez, the city center’s main commercial thoroughfare, one in the Shopping del Este mall and another in the Shopping Paris mall.
The new Asunción operation further strengthens La Petisquera’s presence in the Paraguayan market, bringing to the capital the experience the company has built over more than 50 years in retailing international products.
