Finally, a supermarket with a motorhome area in Spain!! Finally, camper-friendly supermarkets in our country offering laundry and a service point for motorhomes, caravans, and campers!!
An isolated case or a trend for the next few years?
Discover where this first supermarket of the Masymas Chain is located, which finally launches this innovative service for motorhomes in our country.
The growing trend of camper cars and vanlife creates new business opportunities. An example: supermarket with motorhome area in Spain
Neither a pandemic nor the maximum restrictions on mobility succeeded in suppressing the growth rate of vanlife in 2020, neither in its purchase nor in its rental.
Perhaps this explains why this businessman had the great vision to launch in our country what has been done for some time in others like Portugal or France. Creating a supermarket with a motorhome area in Spain was a long-overdue project.
During 2020, more than 8.690 motorhomes and 2.275 campervans were registered (plus the campervans we don't know about) , which is just 3,6% less than in 2019, according to data from the Spanish Association of the Caravanning Industry and Trade (ASEICAR). And it should be noted that July 2020 was the best year for registrations in the history of this caravanning sector.
But it hasn't just been purchases that have sustained the campervan sector. Those who didn't risk buying opted for rentals, and this has increased rental figures by 30%, according to data from some motorhome and campervan rental platforms in our country.
This shows that the camper car sector has come to grow and stay in our country. And this shows that many business opportunities are being generated around it.
The inauguration of what we hope will be a precedent for new motorhome areas in supermarkets in Spain
Motorhome or caravan trips are an excellent option for those seeking flexibility, comfort, and social distancing . This type of tourism allows you to reduce costs, enjoy nature, and feel more free.
Hence perhaps this type of itinerant tourism is on the rise.
Hence the vision behind the initiative conceived by Pablo López, a young entrepreneur and resident of Cudillero, Asturias. This entrepreneur is advancing the innovation and sustainability project of the MasyMas supermarket chain by creating a service area for motorhomes and a self-service laundry in the parking lot of their Cudillero supermarket in Asturias.
This initiative was created with the aim of attracting new customers and neighbors.
Services for motorhomes and campers at the Masymas de Cudillero supermarket
The masymas supermarket in Cudillero, Asturias, has just opened a 15 m² self-service laundromat. It is one of the first supermarkets in Spain with a motorhome area.
This service is in addition to the installation of a free water discharge and water recharge point for caravans and motorhomes. It thus becomes the first supermarket in the region to have both services.
Incredible services without a doubt that we appreciate all motorhomes, I hope this serves as a precedent and we can see more in our country.
