Encuentro celebrates the reopening of its store on León y Castillo Street, 11, a landmark in Arrecife, now completely renovated to reflect the essence and spirit of the Canary Islands.

With an impressive open space of 250 square meters, the store has been transformed into a true "home" of fashion, where natural light floods every corner through large windows, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for every visitor.

This new store concept is an evolution of the brand, which seeks not only to expand its presence but also to deepen its connection with the Canarian identity. The interior design, which favors open and bright spaces, is an invitation to experience fashion in a relaxed and personal way, where each client is the center of a unique and transformative shopping experience.

The use of natural and local materials, along with a color palette that evokes the volcanic landscape and the golden beaches of the islands, reinforces Encuentro's philosophy of being in harmony with the environment. This approach is complemented by decorative details that celebrate local craftsmanship and the natural beauty of Lanzarote.

"We are excited to reopen our store in Arrecife, which has been designed with our clients in mind, offering a space where they can feel at home while discovering our collections", explains Gonzalo de Lorenzo, CEO of the Encuentro Modas group. "It is a reflection of our commitment to innovation and closeness, always keeping our Canarian roots at the heart of everything we do."

The reopening of the store on León y Castillo is not only a key moment in Encuentro's expansion, but also a step forward in redefining how fashion and space intertwine to create memorable and meaningful experiences.
