EL VOLCAN es una empresa chilena minorista especialista en el
rubro gastronómico, tanto para el mercado profesional (Equipamiento y proyectos
gastronómicos) como también el mercado Hogar, comercializando artículos para
mesa y cocina. Su casa matriz se ubica en el centro de Santiago, San Diego
#767.
HISTORIA
Sus orígenes se remontan hacia el año 1910, cuando Don
Nolasco Rivero, inmigrante Español proveniente de Asturias, llega a Chile con
el objetivo de buscar mejores oportunidades. Fruto de su esfuerzo,
perseverancia y compromiso ascendió dentro de su trabajo, llegando a ser socio
y finalmente propietario de lo que en esos tiempos era la Ferretería EL VOLCAN.
En Junio de 1953, Don José Rivero Llamazales se independiza
del negocio de su padre con la idea de desarrollar el negocio ferretero de
mayor especialización, pero no le fue posible conseguir patente del rubro por
lo que decidió crear Menajes EL VOLCAN, comenzando así la venta de productos de
mesa y cocina.
EXPANSIÓN
Hacia el año 2007, producto de la
demanda gastronómica y cambios en los estilos de vida, se inaugura la segunda
tienda, ubicada en Las Tranqueras, comuna de Las Condes. 5 años después,
inaugura su centro de distribución Corporativo en Colina, con el fin de hacer
frente al plan de expansión trazado por la compañía y centralizar los despachos
hacia regiones.
El año 2014 se apertura la tienda
ubicada en el Mall Plaza Egaña, un año después se inauguran las tiendas de Luis
Pasteur #6607, Vitacura y Mall Plaza El Trébol en Concepción. En el año 2016,
se inaugura la tienda EL VOLCAN en Mall Parque Arauco (Piso diseño) y luego el
año 2017 se apertura la tienda en Mall Plaza Los Domínicos y en Quilicura
(Easton Outlet Mall) .
Finalmente, con el objetivo de buscar
satisfacer de mejor manera la demanda de regiones, el 2018 se apertura las
tiendas de Viña del Mar y Temuco, siendo Mall Plaza Oeste la locación para la
11° tienda.
