Palacio de Hierro León

See also: El Palacio de Hierro. Plaza Mayor will soon add a ca. Palacio de Hierro under construction, to open in 2024. León is one of only eight metropolitan areas in Mexico to boast a full-line Palacio store, after twenty years of the mall seeking Palacio to build a store there. The opening reflects how El Palacio views the maturing of the local market and growth in the higher-income segment, both in León and nearby in El Bajío^[3] in cities like San Miguel de Allende, Celaya, Irapuato and the City of Guanajuato.^[4] ^[5]
