Consum has acquired nine supermarkets from Valencian distribution company Koups Design International, including one in Amposta. The rest are from Valencia and Murcia.
All properties except Xàtiva operate under the Economy Cash banner. The project is subject to approval by the National Market and Competition Commission (CNMC) and will allow the cooperative to improve its services in the Mediterranean region.
As with its previous operations, Consum will integrate the entire workforce of the acquired centers (equivalent to 193 people) into its collaborative model, with plans to reach a team of more than 22,000 people by 2024.
So far this year, we have opened 5 of our own supermarkets and 30 charter franchises, including the acquired stores in the Valencia region, Catalonia, Murcia, Castilla, Andalusia and Aragon. This business will help the supermarket improve its position in the national market.
