The Los Lagos Region welcomes a new Unimarc store, this time in Dalcahue, Chiloé, where the chain now operates six locations, adding to the 26 stores in X Region. With this addition, SMU—the parent company of Unimarc, Alvi, Mayorista 10, and Super10—has reached a total of 16 store openings across all its formats, including Maxiahorro and Mayorsa in Peru.

The new Unimarc store is located at Avenida Ramón Freire 625, Dalcahue, and features a 650-square-meter sales floor. It offers nine checkout points, six of which are self-service. Additionally, this opening will provide a significant employment boost to the area, with a team of 40 employees, 95% of whom are from Dalcahue.

“We are thrilled to arrive in Dalcahue because we want to continue delivering the best shopping experience. This seventh Unimarc store on the beautiful island of Chiloé reaffirms our commitment to quality and accessibility. We want to be closer to our customers and invite everyone to visit this new location, offering nearly 5,000 products,” said Lionel Gubler, Manager of the Unimarc format.

With this opening—the eighth for the Unimarc format this year—the chain strengthens its regional presence and brings its total number of stores nationwide to 296.

Meanwhile, Super 10 celebrated its fourth opening of 2024, bringing its total to 11 stores across Chile, with locations in the Metropolitan, O’Higgins, and Valparaíso regions. The new Super 10 store is located at Av. Alfredo Silva Carvallo 1401, Maipú, and features a 1,117-square-meter sales floor with a team of 52 employees, nearly 80% of whom are local to the community.

“Residents of Maipú will find a store with modern facilities and equipment designed to provide an excellent shopping experience. Additionally, they’ll have access to a wide range of products from our Exclusive Brands, including Nuestra Cocina, Amada Masa, Tento, Smart Clean, and others, offering top quality at the best prices,” said Nicolás Delsol, Manager of Super10.

These milestones align with SMU’s omnichannel growth plan through 2025, which targets 43 new openings in Chile. Between 2023 and 2024, the company has already opened 30 new stores across all its formats.
