Gleba continues its expansion programme in the heart of Lisbon, with the opening of a new flagship store at 66 Avenida António Augusto de Aguiar, an operation expertly managed by the Savills Retail team. This latest addition brings the brand’s portfolio to a total of 21 shops across the Greater Lisbon area.
Situated in a prime location with high pedestrian footfall, and mere steps from El Corte Inglés, this new store marks a significant chapter in Gleba’s growth. Spanning 200 sq m on the ground floor, the shop boasts expansive window displays that create a welcoming and contemporary atmosphere. The updated brand image, featuring a minimalist design with lighter tones, offers a fresh and distinctive look, further enhancing the store’s visibility.
Renowned for its heritage-driven innovation, Gleba remains committed to using 100% locally sourced grains, cementing its place as a leader in artisanal baking. This new high street location also highlights a unique collaboration with acclaimed pastry chef Juliana Penteado, who now has her own dedicated space within the bakery. In addition to its signature products, the store also offers an exclusive selection of granolas, creams, wines, and more. The venue further enhances the customer experience with a tasting table and an on-site dining area, complemented by speciality beverages, including coffee from the esteemed Sargento Martinho brand.
“We want every visitor to our bakeries—especially our new 2.0 locations, which are pivotal to Gleba’s evolution—to feel the passion and craftsmanship that goes into everything we do,” says Diogo Amorim, CEO of Gleba. “From the meticulous selection and development of our finest products to our partnership with Juliana Penteado, this new store, complete with a café area and speciality coffee offerings, serves as a city meeting point for those who appreciate quality ingredients and expertly crafted goods. Expanding Gleba means sharing this experience with more people, creating spaces where they can fully immerse themselves in our ethos, all while staying true to our commitment to quality and customer connection.”
Maria Luísa Branco, Retail Associate at Savills Portugal, adds: “We’re delighted to have helped with this leasing process and would like to thank the property owner for trusting Savills Portugal. Gleba adds great value, not just to the property itself but also to the surrounding area, enhancing the local retail offering. With its prime location and Gleba’s fresh approach, we’re confident this store will become a go-to spot for both Lisbon residents and visitors.”
