  Our origins date back to 1905, when Pascual Borque founded a fabric sales business called "La Soriana" in Torreón, Coahuila.

• 

  In just a few years, La Soriana became one of the city's top establishments and added wholesale goods to its product offering.

• 

  In 1930, our founders Armando Martin Borque and Francisco Martin Borque took over of the family business, expanding to different municipalities of Coahuila, Durango and a large part of Chihuahua and Sonora.

• 

  In 1950, the business model was switched to retail, introducing the first self-service stores in the region.

  With this experience of more than 50 years, in 1968 we opened the first shopping center "Soriana Centro" in Torreón, starting our current business model and what we know today as Organización Soriana.

•
