Supermercados Peruanos

Supermercados Peruanos S.A. (Spanish: Peruvian Supermarkets) is Peru's second-largest supermarket chain. Although its operations were concentrated around Lima at first, the chain started to expand in Peru by opening stores in Arequipa, Chiclayo, Huancayo, Callao, Ica, and Trujillo.

The company was founded in 1993 after Intercorp bought Supermercados Santa Isabel Perú from Dutch multinational Ahold in 2003. The company has two denomination groups:

• Supermarkets:
  Vivanda, Makro
  .
• Discount stores: Mass.

History

Supermercados Peruanos S.A. started in 1993 because the international Ahold decided to sell Supermercados Santa Isabel Perú, and in the same year, the Peruvian bank Interbank bought the company. Between 2006 and 2009, they started to change all Santa Isabel stores into Plaza Vea and Vivanda.
