About the owner: Jerónimo Martins
Jerónimo Martins is a publicly listed company headquartered in Lisbon, Portugal, founded in 1792. Brandtree records 10 brands under its control, and it is listed as Euronext Lisbon: JMT.

It reported 36 billion euros of sales and 147,709 employees in 2025, and food distribution accounts for more than 98 per cent of that. The company is Portuguese and family-controlled, but most of its business is not in Portugal: the Polish discounter Biedronka alone is about 70 per cent of group sales and 80 per cent of EBITDA.
