Jerónimo Martins invests €2 billion in Portugal, Poland, Colombia

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.
