With an area of approximately 2,800 square meters, Tomás Platovsky, General Manager of Falabella Chile, emphasized the relationship the company hopes to build with the region.
“For us, opening a store goes far beyond expanding our commercial presence. It means becoming part of a new community, contributing to its development, and building long-term relationships,” he said.
The ceremony was also attended by Tomás Rau, Chile’s Minister of Labor and Social Security, who highlighted the employment opportunities generated by the opening.
“Work is much more than a paid activity. It enables us to develop our life projects and build community, so I am very pleased to be part of this important milestone,” he stated.
The company’s arrival also includes the incorporation of Escuela Víctor Domingo Silva into the Haciendo Escuela Program. The initiative, which has a 57-year history, promotes actions that support learning, skills development, and the strengthening of educational communities.
