('''SPSA'''), is a Peruvian company that owns a number of supermarket chains. Founded in 1979, it began operations under its current name in 2004 after its acquisition by Interbank from Dutch multinational Ahold a year prior. The company has two denomination groups: supermarkets ('''Plaza Vea''', '''Vivanda''', '''Makro''') and discount stores ('''Mass''', '''Economax''').
==History== The company was founded as ''Promociones Camino Real S.A.'' on June 1, 1979.<ref name=Gob2011>{{Cite web |title=Supermercados Peruanos S.A. – Documento de Información Anual 2011 |url=https://www.smv.gob.pe/ConsultasP8/temp/Documento%20de%20informaci%c3%b3n%20anual%202011.pdf |website=Gob.pe |year=2011 |page=5, 8–10}}</ref> It was renamed to ''Supermercados Santa Isabel S.A.'' on May 17, 1993, after the Chilean company of the same name acquired the remaining stores operated by ''Scala Gigante'', a Peruvian chain that ceased operations that same year, later acquiring local retailers Mass and Top Market, thus becoming the second largest retail company at the time.<ref name=Gob2011/> In 1998, Koninklijke Ahold N.V. (through its subsidiary, Disco Ahold International Holding N.V.) acquired its parent company, as well as the Argentine ''Disco'', and the Paraguayan ''Stock''.
