Anger at the Masutis: Look what the famous supermarket did and caused an uproar among the citizens

Masotis: The wave of precision plaguing Greece has led supermarket chain, Masoutis, to put an anti-theft device on a product that only costs €1.5.

After the embarrassing pictures of anti-theft devices being placed on baby formula sold in the supermarket, it’s Sardine’s turn!

And if infant formula is such an expensive commodity that supermarket chains worry about being stolen by desperate parents who can’t afford to feed their children, we wonder what the supermarkets’ argument will be for…the humble sardines?

In the photographs taken by the head of the Union of Working Consumers of Greece, Apostolos Rautopoulos, you can clearly see the installation of anti-theft devices in boxes, the price for which is … a huge amount of 1.43 euros!

According to reports from site readers aftodioikisi.gr Sardines with anti-theft device were in Masotti chain supermarket.

Masoutis: See how crushed the other supermarkets are

Move – checkmate by Masoutis as he managed to almost completely control the Aegean supermarket market, extinguishing the competition.

The Masoutis chain aims to take advantage of the tourist traffic this summer, which in many parts of our country is destined to reach new historical levels, even surpassing the pre-pandemic performance.

The opening of new stores by the Northern Helladic chain on the Aegean islands is included in Masoutis’ agreement with SYNKA, which, we remind you, relates to the transfer of Corfu stores to Masoutis from the companies Galaxias and Markato, and the transfer of existing branches in the Aegean islands.

For Crete, it was agreed that Masoutis would participate in the company’s capital, whereby the stores would retain their current identity.

If a few years ago the power of the chain was limited to northern Greece, now it makes its presence felt both in the capital and on the main islands of the country.

As stated, among other things, by the head of the chain, Yannis Masoutis, on the occasion of the agreement with SYNKA, “The promotion of local producers and products will – as always – be a major focus of our presence in new locations, since the development of our company is always carried out in terms of giving back to society Greek”.

The latest additions concern three new stores in Kalymnos (Christo Pothia), Milos (Adamanta) and Tinos (Akti Nazo), which came from the agreement with SYNKA, bringing Masoutis’ network to 343 stores across Greece. The specified stores, which include 11 cash registers, employ 69 people.

Moreover, a few days ago it was announced that two more new stores would open: in Chios (Constantino Monomaho 1) with 4 cash registers and in Milos (central point of Triovasalou) with 2 cash registers.

It was preceded by the opening of three stores, more specifically two in Naxos (one on the ring road of Ijaron-Chora Naxos and the other on the ring road of Chora Naxos) and one in Chios (in the area of ​​Agios Minas – Faya parking) with 20 parking spaces.

During the month, on June 16, a new store was opened in Santorini, in the municipality of Pyrgos in Thira (Central Regional Road in Perissa Fira) with 3 cash registers and 2 parking spaces.

The beginning of Masoutis expansion in the islands this year took place last March, when the company announced its new store in Skiathos, which is located on the Ring Road (OT 265) and includes 4 cash registers, 15 employees and 15 parking spaces.

It should be noted that the chain has a presence in island Greece as well, with stores in Andros, Lesvos, Lemnos and Thassos.

At the same time, the renovation plan continues. Recently, the renovation of the store at Sindo Thessaloniki (No 3 Avenue) was completed, while last month it was preceded by the store at Didymoteiho Evrou (Begeti 10 & Germanou).

In the same month, in May, the store opened its doors again at Iraklitsa Kavala (corner of Crete & Hydra), while last March it was announced that the store at Dafni Attica (Plutonos 36) would be renovated.

In addition to expanding and updating its network, Masoutis is constantly investing in new technologies and best practices with the aim of improving the shopping experience and better serving the consumer in its online store.

Thus, it has been able to integrate into eshop.masoutis.gr functionality that guarantees the customer a perfect shopping trip with the possibility of same-day delivery and coverage in 45 cities.

Masotis: The new competitor has no money!

After years of absence from the Greek market, Carrefour is back, but they will not have cashiers! See all developments at xristika.gr.

Carrefour returns to the Greek market, ten years after its departure, to present a new model of elitism without employees with automated service and sensors, a model very popular abroad.

In the first phase, five stores will be opened, which will operate in tourist areas with a completely different development model than the previous one, while the official announcement is expected during the next few days.

According to the Carrefour announcement, the brand will be relaunched in our country and offer Carrefour products to Greek customers and tourists until spring with the first opening in Crete.

The official announcement

“The aim of this collaboration is to position and develop Carrefour brands in Greek territory. The first stores will be opened in Greece by the summer of 2022,” the official announcement reads. It follows from the same announcement that the first stores will be opened in Crete.

“The Carrefour brand and its products are well known in Greece and we are delighted to be able to offer our best to Greek consumers once again.

Teleunicom Group and its subsidiary Retail & more are the best basis for entering the Greek market quickly and efficiently. By entering Greece in 2022, Carrefour’s international partnership strengthens its development path in new markets.

“We are very pleased with the return of Carrefour brands and its innovative business models to Greece. Greek consumers will experience an innovative multi-channel ecosystem offering high-quality products and services, accessible to everyone,” said Mr. Vassilis Stasinolias, CEO of Retail & More.

“We decided to create a new business in the retail and food sector and it was our great desire to bring Carrefour back to the Greek market. Our strategic planning and ambition for the Carrefour brands were fully confirmed,” explained Vassilis Papadopoulos, CEO of Teleunicom, during our discussions with Carrefour International Partnership.

There are three main reasons behind Carrefour’s decision to re-enter the Greek market:
Firstly, the great potential that is estimated to exist in the small retail business, in which the company will seek partnerships.

Secondly, the better condition of the Greek economy. It is noteworthy that Carrefour withdrew from Greece at the heart of the economic recession in 2012.

Thirdly, the new partner, Retail & More, a subsidiary of the AVE group, the interests of Nikos T. Vardinogiannis, is solvent and reliable.

It is reported that Carrefour, which started operating in Greece in 1999, withdrew from the Greek market in June 2012, and sold its stake in Carrefour – Marinopoulos (50%) to the Marinopoulos Group.
