Unimarc marks its eighth opening of 2024, reaching 296 stores nationwide, while Super 10 celebrates its 11th location.

Unimarc's 100% Nuestro is celebrating its anniversary, marking over a decade characterized by its regionalist focus aimed at preserving local flavors from all corners of the country. This initiative has enabled more than 400 entrepreneurs to have their products on supermarket shelves across Chile.

The company announced today the successful placement of bonds in the local Chilean market for a total of UF 1,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 3.55%, representing a spread of 115 basis points over benchmark. Demand for the transaction was double the placement amount.

The Unimarc format reported an increase of 3.6% compared to the third quarter of 2023. Online sales, through proprietary platforms and partnerships with last-milers, increased by 28%. The company opened nine stores between July and September, a record high for a quarter.

The event, organized by Alvi Mayorista—a subsidiary of SMU—connected member shopkeepers with major brands that supply their businesses and showcased alternatives to improve the offerings in their stores, bakeries, restaurants, hotels, and liquor stores. It also marked the official relaunch of the Club Alvi, offering more benefits to its members.

Responsible waste management is one of SMU's primary commitments to minimize the environmental impact of its operations. Since 2021, through various Food Waste Reduction initiatives, the company has prevented more than 21,400 tons of food from being discarded.

It's a Unimarc-Alvi combo in Los Andes, a Unimarc in Macul, and a Super 10 in Puente Alto. This continues the company’s organic growth plan for 2023-2025, which includes opening 58 new stores in Chile and Peru.

This new store is the second opening of the year for the format, bringing Super 10's total to nine stores nationwide and its seventh store in the Metropolitan Region.

The new store is the fifth opening of this format this year. With this opening, Unimarc reaches its 294th location, solidifying its presence in the Valparaíso region.

In 2023, the agreement led to purchases from farmers amounting to 1,253 million pesos. The partnership allows farmers to access a mass sales channel that has boosted their businesses.

The supermarket chain will support both the men’s and women’s Chilean rugby teams, as well as the Selknam Rugby team, in their upcoming sports challenges.

Quarterly revenues grew by 1% compared to the same period in 2023. The EBITDA margin reaches 9.4%, well above the expected level.

During the meeting, all matters proposed to the shareholders were approved, including the appointment of external auditors and risk rating agencies, the payment of the final dividend, and the approval of the financial statements and integrated report for the year 2023, as well as the election of the new board of directors of the company.

The new store is the first opening of the year 2024. With this opening, Unimarc consolidates its presence with 23 operational stores in the region.

The supermarket chain was part of the conversation panel at the parallel event "Role of the Company and the Private Sector in the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development," organized by IST. The chair of the board, Pilar Dañobeitía, received recognition for her contribution to SDG 5 Gender Equality.

This certification recognizes companies that are able to measure their energy consumption and improve it through measures aimed at efficiency and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Among the company's goals are the signing of renewable electricity supply contracts for 40% of consumption in Chile and an 8% reduction in energy expenditure per square meter by 2025.

With the aim of minimizing food waste as much as possible, the company has developed initiatives that have so far allowed it to rescue more than 19,000 tons of food, impacting thousands of people.
