Founded

Grupo Calleja is a privately held Salvadoran retail conglomerate headquartered in San Salvador and is best known as the operator of Super Selectos, the largest supermarket chain in El Salvador. The Calleja family business traces its supermarket presence in El Salvador to the mid-twentieth century and operates a national network of Super Selectos stores across the country.

In 2024 Grupo Calleja completed the acquisition of a controlling stake in Colombian retailer Grupo Exito (Almacenes Exito S.A.) for approximately 1.2 billion US dollars, making Grupo Calleja the controlling shareholder of one of Latin America's largest multi-format retailers with operations in Colombia, Uruguay, and Argentina. The transaction was one of the first dual tender offers for equity securities of a publicly traded Colombian company.
