Shufersal (Hebrew: שופרסל), formerly Super-Sol in English and Shufra-Sal in Hebrew, commonly known as Super-sal, is the largest supermarket chain in Israel. As of 2019, Shufersal had 378 stores in total including 83 branches of Be Drugstores Ltd and 15,800 employees.[2][3] Shufersal shares are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and it is a constituent of the TA-125 Index.
History
Shufersal was founded in 1958. The name was originally a portmanteau of the Aramaic *shufra* שופרא, meaning "premium" and *sal* סל, Hebrew for "basket". In 2005, the company implemented a strategic growth plan, creating three supermarket categories: "Shufersal Deal", "Shufersal Big", and "Shufersal Sheli".
In early 2006, Shufersal purchased the third-largest retail chain in Israel, Clubmarket. In October 2006, the chain launched the Shufersal Credit Card. Sales turnover for the chain in 2007 totaled NIS 9,935 million.[4]
In 2009 it launched a subsidiary, Yesh, targeting the Haredi market.[5] Features of Yesh stores include products marketed to larger families, lower prices, stricter kashrut standards, and in some stores, separate hours for men and women[6][7] In 2009, Shufersal was threatened with an antitrust suit for the purchase of Clubmarket.[2]
Shufersal label
Shufersals sells more than 1,300 store brand products in its stores.[8] In 2011, the company had 59 supermarket branches in Jerusalem.[9]
Services
Shufersal also markets its products through a computerized telephone marketing center for shopping by phone, fax, or the internet. [4]
Criticism
Involvement in Israeli settlements
On 12 February 2020, the United Nations published a database of companies doing business related in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as well as in the occupied Golan Heights.[10] Shufersal was listed on the database on account of its activities in Israeli settlements in these occupied territories,[11] which are considered illegal under international law.[12]
