Supermercados Peruanos S.A. ("Peruvian Supermarkets") is the second largest supermarket and hypermarket chain in Peru. Although its operations were concentrated around Lima at first, the chain started to expand in Peru by opening a store in Arequipa, Trujillo and Chiclayo in 2007. Three more stores are scheduled to be opened in Peru: one in Huancayo, also the company has plans for the next year for another store in Arequipa and one in Cusco.
The company was founded in 2004 after Interbank bought Supermercados Santa Isabel from Dutch multinational Ahold in 2003. The company has three denomination groups:
The history of Supermercados Peruanos started in 1993 when the Chilean company Supermercados Santa Isabel S.A opened stores in Lima most of those were in locales where there used to be an Scala Gigante Super or Hypermarket. In 1999 the Netherlands company Ahold bought the company, and began with the hypermarket project, it was called Plaza Vea and the discount stores Mini Sol(today Mass), but in 2003 the international Royal Ahold decided to sell Supermercados Santa Isabel, and in the same year the Peruvian bank Interbank bought the company. In 2005 they opened their first supermarket Vivanda on Pezet Avenue in the San Isidro District in Lima. In 2006 they started to change some Santa Isabel stores into Plaza Vea 'Super'. In 2007 Minisol changed their name to Mass, and they also opened their first hypermarket outside Lima in Trujillo, and another one in Chiclayo.
This is the most important and powerful chain of the group, started in 2001 with a store at the Jockey Plaza Shopping Center. Today they have 15 locals in Lima, in other cities in Peru they have other stores or plans for future stores.
