Carrión is a chain of department stores in Central America.
The chain is owned by Grupo Roble [es], itself part of Grupo Poma. It originated in La Ceiba, Honduras in 1970 where it opened under the name Bazar Carrión. It opened in Costa Rica in 2000, in Honduras in 2003, in Nicaragua in 2004, and in Guatemala in 2005.
In 2012 the company invested US$5 million in a new store in Tegucigalpa.
Despite closing its 6,000 m store at Multiplaza San José Costa Rica, Carrión expressed an intention at the time to expand in the country and did eventually open a new store in Alajuela in 2015. The company later pulled out of the Costa Rica market, and its unique location in Honduras closed in 2019.
