The business of food retail Sonae SGPS – concentrated in Sonae MC and encompassing hypermarkets (Continent), supermarkets (Mainland) Model, and Good Day), and franchising (My Super) – recorded quarterly sales record between July and September of 2016.

The sales of Sonae until the end of September increased “2% above the estimated due to sales higher in Sonae SR and minor adjustments”, stresses the analyst José Mota Freitas of CaixaBI. “The largest part of this deviation can be explained by growth 4% above that projected in the sales of Sports & Fashion (it’s the first quarter consolidation of the Salsa).”
