Bon Preu begins construction of the logistics center in Montblanc this summer
Bon Preu will begin construction of its logistics center in Montblanc this summer, which could be operational by 2028. This move comes after almost a year and a half of delay due to the replotting of the Logis Montblanc industrial park, which has just now been approved.
The Catalan supermarket chain is preparing a key change that could transform the local logistics sector and, by extension, the life of the town. But, what does this mean for Montblanc and its residents?
Construction and timeline: when and how will the first stones be laid?
When will construction begin and what does the project include?
Construction of Bon Preu’s logistics center will start between July and August 2026, right after the City Council approves the building permit. Earthworks will be the first visible steps.
The project also includes the completion of the urbanization of the Logis Montblanc industrial park, which will prepare the land for future companies and industrial activities.
When is the logistics center expected to become operational?
According to sources at Bon Preu, the logistics center could be operational in the first half of 2028. This implies a period of about a year and a half for construction and startup.
A long timeframe, but consistent with the scale of the investment and the complexity of the project.
Local impact: what does this new logistics center mean for Montblanc?
How will the logistics center affect the local economy and employment?
The establishment of the logistics center will represent an important economic boost for Montblanc. The creation of direct jobs at Bon Preu and indirect jobs through service companies is eagerly anticipated.
It could also attract more companies to the industrial park, generating a hub of industrial activity that did not exist before.
Why is business interest in the industrial park expected to grow in the fall?
The government expects interest from other companies to purchase lots in the Logis Montblanc industrial park to rise in the fall. Bon Preu’s opening will serve as a draw and build confidence for investors and industrialists.
The fact that the replotting has been approved and urbanization is progressing makes the industrial park a competitive and attractive space.
Administrative process and obstacles: what has delayed the construction?
What obstacles caused the one and a half year delay?
The main cause of the delay was the administrative processing of the replotting of the Logis Montblanc industrial park. This process is key to defining how the land is divided and managed.
Without this final approval, the building permit could not be granted, which delayed the entire planning process.
What steps remain before construction begins?
With approval expected by July 4, the City Council can grant Bon Preu the permit to start construction.
After that, earthworks and the final urbanization of the industrial park will take place, which will facilitate the arrival of other companies.

| Start of construction | July-August 2026 |
| Planned activity | Earthworks and urbanization |

Montblanc is preparing to change its industrial profile. Bon Preu’s move is more than an investment: it is a sign that the region is seeking new economic directions, and this is not always welcomed by everyone.
Who will dare to follow in the footsteps of the Catalan giant?
