 PROFILE
Swinging to salsa rather than Donna Summer, DISCO customers boogie down the aisles in search of groceries. The company is one of the largest supermarket chains in Argentina, with over 230 stores. DISCO's supermarket chains include DISCO, Super Vea, Americanos, and Ekonos (a chain of ten food stores acquired from Distribucion y Servicio D&S ). The company also operates convenience stores under the Mini Sol name and makes private-label products (Bell's and Vea). Supermarket giant Royal Ahold and Velox Retail Holdings together own about 50% of DISCO through their joint venture, Disco-Ahold International Holdings. The joint venture also runs a number of Santa Isabel supermarkets, mostly in Chile.
