Pedro Soares dos Santos, CEO of Jerónimo Martins, owner of one of Portugal’s largest food retailers, said today that in the last three years the group has invested €2 billion in Portugal, Poland and Colombia – the three countries where it operates. Presenting the group’s very positive results for 2022 (profit rose by 27.5%), he said:”In these last three years, with Covid and war, I would like to leave these milestones: we opened more than one thousand stores”, which between them created 15,500 new jobs in the three countries.
