Tiendas Carrión is a chain of department stores in Central America.
It originated in La Ceiba, Honduras in 1970[1] where it opened under the name Bazar Carrión. It opened in Costa Rica in 2000, in El Salvador in 2003, in Nicaragua in 2004, and in Guatemala in 2005.[2]
In 2012 the company invested US$5 million in a new store in Tegucigalpa.[3]
Despite closing its 6,000 m2 store at Multiplaza San José Costa Rica, Carrión expressed an intention at the time to expand in the country[4] and did eventually open a new store in Alajuela in 2015.[1] The company later pulled out of the Costa Rica market.[4]
Victoria Kjær (Miss Universe 2024) visited Tiendas Carrion's City Mall location in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.[5]
