Chaviarte has announced the opening of a new store in Alfornelos, Amadora. Located in the Colina do Sol Shopping Center, Chaviarte Express Colina do Sol joins the more than 45 Chaviarte stores in operation in Portugal. After opening 5 new stores in 2020, even during the worst of the pandemic, the 25-year-old Portuguese company continues to focus on growth, but above all on consolidation.

"We have come through the most negative period of our 25 years hand in hand with all those who are part of the daily life of our company: employees and franchisees. 2020 was a very challenging year, but we managed to get through it without letting anyone down, as all the stores are still open and we haven't made any redundancies. That's our biggest gain from this pandemic and the icing on the cake was opening 5 new stores during 2020 and starting 2021 with a new opening." - António Correia, CFO of Chaviarte.

The challenges of 2020 have shown that Chaviarte's business remains strong even when the economy is in recession. The Portuguese always need security, especially in these sensitive economic and social cycles, and they prefer to place their trust in a brand that draws on its age, technical expertise, certified professionals and a network of stores with national coverage.

The store in Alfornelos - Amadora is located in the Colina do Sol shopping center and is a bet by franchisee Orlando Silva, who is making his debut in this business area.

Chaviarte franchising does not require prior technical knowledge, as it offers its franchisees an initial training program that combines the technical part with the practical component and a team of professionals from different areas for ongoing support after the business opens.

Chaviarte currently has more than 45 stores in operation and despite its already vast national coverage, there are still several locations in the country with potential for setting up a store specializing in Security Systems: Locks, Safes, Cylinders for all types of locks, keys and key duplication, garage controls and car security such as duplication and programming of controls or car keys.
