Supermercados Peruanos

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).

[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.

[2] On December 11 of the same year, Interbank (alongside Compass Capital Partners Corp) acquired Santa Isabel, which was rebranded as Supermercados Peruanos S.A. on March 15, 2004, while its stores changed into Plaza Vea and Vivanda from 2004 to 2005.
