Food distribution is our main business area and accounts for more than 98% of consolidated sales.
In Portugal, where the Group is headquartered, we lead the supermarket segment through Pingo Doce, and the cash & carry segment with Recheio. In addition to supermarkets, Pingo Doce also operates Comida Fresca restaurants in many of its stores. It also has two central kitchens that supply not only the restaurants but also the in‑store takeaway counters.
Recheio operates a chain of cash & carry stores and has been strengthening its business model with a specialised food service operation, through dedicated platforms that primarily serve HoReCa clients. Recheio also develops a network of traditional retail partners under the Amanhecer banner.
In Poland, where we have been present since 1995, Biedronka is the undisputed leader in food retail sales. It has a network of around 3,900 stores, combining convenience, assortment quality, strong private labels, a distinctive in‑store environment, and the most competitive prices in the market. Biedronka is also developing a food retail operation in Slovakia.
In Colombia, where we entered in 2013, Ara operates a chain of proximity food stores with strong presence in residential neighbourhoods and a quality‑at‑the‑best‑price positioning, combining competitiveness with promotional opportunities in key categories for Colombian consumers.
Our commitment is to develop high quality, convenient food products and meal solutions at competitive prices. We believe that our food distribution banners stand out for their:
Leader in food distribution and the largest employer in Poland, representing 70% of Group sales. Since 2025, it is also operating Slovakia.
Portugal’s leading supermarket chain, offering high‑quality and competitively priced food solutions. More than 250 Comida Fresca restaurants.
Neighbourhood stores rooted in residential areas, with a distinctly Colombian identity. One of Colombia’s largest food retailers.
Portugal’s cash & carry leader, focused on HoReCa and traditional retail. The Amanhecer partner network plays an important role in its business model.
