Affordable, safe and quality products

Designing a product that meets consumers’ demanding criteria for affordability, safety and quality is a challenge that requires a strong dynamic between retailers and local suppliers. As our customers move through the supermarket aisles, shopping lists in hand, they face the ultimate question: Which product goes into the basket?

Price as a key factor

The choice of a product depends on several factors, and price remains decisive for consumers in the markets where we operate. In an uncertain economic context, every purchasing decision is more carefully considered – and it is to support our customers at that moment that we launch hundreds of promotional flyers and campaigns every year, always with the same purpose: to offer real savings opportunities and ensure the best value for money.

The apps of our Companies offer personalised daily promotions, based on each customer’s preferences and past purchases – to save, customers simply need to shake their phone. These loyalty apps are available to Biedronka, Pingo Doce and Ara customers.

Trustworthy Private Brand

Private Brand products have become a staple in our clients’ shopping routines – not only because they are affordable, but because their safety and quality are proven. Across our banners, these products account for a significant portion of total sales, a testament to consumers’ trust.

Commitment to health and nutrition

While the final choice lies with the consumer, our banners shape the assortment from which those choices are made. Acknowledging this responsibility – and recognizing the vital role food plays in overall health – we are committed to offering healthy and nutritious products to our customers.

Pingo Doce is the first food retailer in Portugal to have 100% of its Private Brand assortment free from artificial colouring and flavour enhancers. This aligns with our long-term strategy to continuously improve the quality of the ingredients used, and the nutritional composition of our products, by carrying out recipe revisions which includes reducing salt, sugar and fats from our Private Brand and perishables offering.
