Chile's Cencosud is expanding its Don Salva hard-discount grocery stores, while Colombian EBITDA nearly doubled in Q2. Don Salva, a small-format supermarket, debuted in Santiago on May 22, 2026, and has already opened five locations citywide. The chain's CEO, Rodrigo Larraín, aims for 40 stores by year-end, cautiously testing each location before scaling.
Meanwhile, Colombian conglomerate Grupo Angelini increased its stake in logistics-focused Red Megacentro to 26.6%, valuing the company around US$580 million. This separate investment highlights Chilean capital flowing into logistics and industrial sectors for potential e-commerce growth.
