About the owner: Shufersal
Shufersal is a publicly listed company headquartered in Israel, founded in 1957. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control, and it is listed as TASE: SAE.
Shufersal Ltd. was incorporated in Israel in 1957 and has been listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange since 1980. Its annual report for 2023 says it owns Israel's largest supermarket chain by sales and has had no controlling shareholder since June 2018. It operates through three segments: retail, real estate and Be, its fully owned pharmacy and cosmetics chain. The brand list is read from the FY2023 annual report and checked against the Q3 2024 interim report, which still describes Be as a segment; no later English annual report was reachable, so formats may have changed since.
