Review bases on buying from this store since 2018. This is a huge Continente store. Probably the biggest which I have seen in Portugal. Also famous by the name "Forum" and the area of Montijo is called "Alegro".
Full Products and services and of continente are Present here, like Worten, Welles, Clothing etc. Store got complete range of all kind of Groceries, fruits, vegetables items, Dry fruits, Pet food, toys and body Perfumes and products.
Store got huge Parking space with "dedicated disabled persons parking", Got seperate Electric charging station and parking, out side kids areas and sitting area, very neat and clean washroom area. This place can also be very easily be accesed by public busses.
Prices of the store very reasonbale, Loyality membership cards give you true benifits. The building also has Multibanco( ATMs) and plentyful indoor and outdoor sitting area.
This supermarket is located inside the current Allegro complex (old Forum Montijo) and has good stepfree access throughout the store. The premises are very large and conveniently accessible from the main entrance. Trolleys and wheeled baskets are available at the entrance, and food and drink are not allowed in. Security presence at the entrance, too. The layout is spacious, clean, and has a friendly service and offers generous trading times throughout the week. I was able to find everything i wanted and needed and would recommend.
Good business, this one.
Update: Since the new upgrade and everything now has a new place, it looks good, but some items are not available anymore, boxed 5L wine is gone. If one needs to go to another business just to buy a 5L boxed wine, then we can buy all our merchandise at the other business, and Continente Montijo loses our 200+€ per week. Sad.
Continente is a bigger player in supermarkets business with a large assortment of articles. However their meat section is to us not top and not cheap. The same with vegetables not very special. On a further review request my opinion is not changed. We now notice that the trying to up date some stations and pay area's however we miss the punch you may expect from such big player in the supermarket business.
Supermarket located in shopping mall. Continent is spin off the American chain of supermarkets Target. A lot of variety products the staff is very helpful. Now the downsides of this place is the parking is always for far away and you have to walk a lot to get to the supermarket to buy essentials. If you are in a hurry and you get on the self-checkout Lane you probably spend more time and you are actually expecting to. The self-checkout machines always give you headaches why not reading the barcodes they stop when there is some discrepancy between the weight of the toilet. You have to ask help from an assistant to activate your rewards card and there's always issues with paying in cash and they are very very small we don't have room to put your stuff on what makes it really a nuisance to use.
