Mercadona (Valencian: [meɾkaˈðɔna], Spanish: [meɾkaˈðona]) is a Spanish supermarket chain, with 1,618 stores across Spain and 54 in Portugal (as of 10/2024).

The company was founded by Francisco Roig Ballester and his wife, Trinidad Alfonso Mocholi in 1977.^[3] Mercadona began as a small butcher's shop in Tavernes Blanques, a village in Valencia.^[4][5] Juan Roig assumed the role of CEO in 1981, and the company has since expanded nationwide.

In the 1990s, Juan Roig oversaw a series of changes across the whole company and revealed the new façade of Mercadona as a result of the competitive business landscape, which includes competitors such as Carrefour and the co-operative Eroski.
