Liverpool

One of the stores with a long tradition in México is “El Puerto de Liverpool,” popularly known as “Liverpool.” Its history began in 1847 when a great visionary, Jean Baptiste Ebrard (JBE), set up a stall to sell fine fabrics in México City. In 1872 he decided to import European fabrics, which were shipped from the famous port of Liverpool. This was how JBE decided to take that name for his store. In México City, you can see the original building, worth visiting and admiring its architecture.

Today, Liverpool is one of the main national department stores, with 119 establishments divided between Fábricas de Francia, Liverpool, and Liverpool Duty Free, and with more than 63,000 staff in all of México.
