The technology and appliance chain Worten, managed in the islands by Grupo Número 1 and with a presence in Arguineguín, is accelerating its omnichannel strategy in the Canary Islands with a new in-store pickup service in just 15 minutes. The system, which guarantees a 7% Canary Islands VAT rate and is already operational in some of its 23 stores in the archipelago, seeks to strengthen its immediate response to local customers and improve logistics in high-traffic tourist areas such as Maspalomas and Mogán.
The "Click & Collect 15" service allows users to shop on the Worten website or app and collect their order in store in just fifteen minutes. With this measure, the company adapts its distribution model to the island's reality, marked by strong demand for technology products and household appliances throughout the year.
In southern Gran Canaria, the service will be concentrated at strategic locations in San Bartolomé de Tirajana and Mogán, where the high density of residents and visitors makes speedy pickup essential. The company emphasizes that express pickup is free of charge and is available for a wide range of items, from phones and electronics to small appliances and gaming equipment.
The Worten store network in the Canary Islands—with a presence in Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, and El Hierro—has established itself as one of the largest in the sector. With this launch, the company strengthens its position against giants such as MediaMarkt and El Corte Inglés, focusing on more agile logistics and an integrated shopping experience between the digital and physical environments. Worten thus joins the "immediate commerce" trend that is transforming island consumption. In a region where every minute counts due to the distance from the peninsula, speed becomes the new added value.
