About Supermercados Chortitzer
Supermercados Chortitzer is the co-operative's retail arm: a supermarket in Loma Plata plus five branches, which in the Chaco means the shops are often the only full-line grocery for a long distance. The commercial department sells construction materials and sanitaryware through the same stores, and runs seven service stations, a used-car lot, a motorcycle dealership and a department selling agricultural machinery and implements alongside them. It is a general store for a farming community rather than a supermarket chain competing in Asunción.
