**Standa** was an Italian chain of [department stores](/source/Department_store).

## History

It was founded in 1931 as *Magazzini Standard* (Società Anonima Magazzini Standard) by a former executive of [UPIM](/source/UPIM) and subsequently renamed as *Standa* ([acronym](/source/Acronym) for Società Tutti Articoli Nazionali Dell'Abbigliamento). When it was bought by [Montedison](/source/Montedison) in 1966 it had 126 branches all over Italy. It was bought by [Silvio Berlusconi](/source/Silvio_Berlusconi) in July 1988, through [Fininvest](/source/Fininvest), which in 1998 sold the "non-food" stores to the [Coin](/source/Coin_(department_store)) due to a financial crisis. In 1999, the grocery store chain was disbanded and the stores sold by geographical location: the stores based in northern Italy were sold to [REWE Group](/source/REWE_Group) and those based in southern Italy were sold to [Conad](/source/Conad). The Standa trademark is now officially owned by REWE, which in 2009 rebranded its supermarkets as [Billa](/source/Billa_(supermarket)).

In 2014 REWE sold its Standa/Billa supermarkets chain to the French retailer [Carrefour](/source/Carrefour).

A *Standa* store was opened by [REWE](/source/REWE) in [Cologne](/source/Cologne) but closed in 2017.[1]
