History
Chedraui was founded in 1927 in Xalapa, Veracruz by Lázaro Chedraui Chaya and his wife.[3] In 1971 it opened the first supermarket in Xalapa, Veracruz. In 2005 it bought 29 supermarkets from Carrefour.[4] Chedraui's primary competition includes large grocers and hypermarkets such as Soriana, Wal-Mart and H-E-B.
According to Hoover's, it is "Mexico's fourth-largest retailer, the supermarket giant sells groceries, apparel, and non-perishable items in about 90 self-service Chedraui stores operating in 13 eastern and southern Mexican states. Chedraui also owns about 15 La Hogaza bakeries"[3]. It has a large stake in Bodega Latina, a Paramount, California-based company which operates 34 El Super supermarkets, mostly in the Los Angeles area[5].
In addition to retail, the group has a real estate arm.
