October 1995 marked the beginnings of PALACIOS’ operations, located at a renovated two-story house on a forsaken De Diego Avenue.  Owner Ileana Palacios stated:  “When my daughters witnessed where I was planning to put up shop, they were scandalized.  I told them not to worry; that even if De Diego Avenue was not very alluring to the eye, and our premises would be surrounded by unkempt houses, its location was PERFECT.” 

By its 5th year of operations, PALACIOS had already acquired three more adjacent houses, and with its own resources, planted Palmas Reales on the inlets of their De Diego Avenue stretch.  At the time, De Diego Avenue was gradually evolving and becoming a center for home furnishings and materials.

Today, PALACIOS is one of the top and most important stores on the Puerto Rico market for home decoration, accessories and bridal registry.  “10 years ago, we were approached by Ileana Palacios for the opening of her store on De Diego Avenue.  Although we were surprised by the location, Ileana’s drive for excellence gave us the confidence we needed to join her with our brands in this new venture”, said Pascale Dedelva from Pommares Agency, which represents Baccarat, Christofle, Kosta Boda and Orrefors.  She added:  “Over these 10 years, Palacios has become one of Puerto Rico’s primary destinations for brides and home decoration lovers and we are proud to be an integral part of this ever-growing enterprise.” 

PALACIOS will celebrate its 10th Anniversary and opening of its Baccarat boutique on October 6, 2005.  Come and join us at 7:00 p.m. @ 271 De Diego Avenue, Puerto Nuevo.
