Super Food Holding, trading under the name Supermercados Peruanos S.A. (SPSA), is a Peruvian company that owns a number of supermarket chains. Founded in 1979, it began operations under its current name in 2004 after its acquisition by Interbank from Dutch multinational Ahold a year prior. The company has two denomination groups: supermarkets (Plaza Vea, Vivanda, Makro) and discount stores (Mass, Economax).
History
The company was founded as Promociones Camino Real S.A. on June 1, 1979.[1] It was renamed to Supermercados Santa Isabel S.A. on May 17, 1993, after the Chilean company of the same name acquired the remaining stores operated by Scala Gigante, a Peruvian chain that ceased operations that same year, later acquiring local retailers Mass and Top Market, thus becoming the second largest retail company at the time.[1]
