We are an international Group based in Portugal with over 230 years of know-how in the food business. We address the daily needs of millions of consumers in three countries, through a value proposition based on quality food at competitive prices. Food distribution is our main activity and is worth more than 98% of the Group’s consolidated sales.
Biedronka is our largest business and, in addition to being the leading food retailer in Poland, it is developing a new operation in Slovakia. In Portugal, Pingo Doce is the leading supermarkets chain, while Recheio is the leading cash & carry. In Colombia, we operate the Ara neighbourhood stores. We have also developed an agri-food business in Portugal and Morocco. In Poland, we own the Hebe chain of beauty stores, which is also present in Czechia (online and brick-and-mortar stores) and Slovakia (online store).
It is the main business area we operate in Portugal (Pingo Doce and Recheio), Poland (Biedronka) and Colombia (Ara).
In Poland, we own the Hebe beauty chain and in Portugal, the Jeronymo coffee shops and Hussel, a network specialised in chocolates and confectionery.
We invest in primary production to ensure the quality and sustainability of our supply chains.
Ara is the Group's retail chain in Colombia, operating in the form of neighborhood food stores with a focus on both the proximity and strength of its Private Brand products.
