GruppoPam launched the new concept of the retail store in Italy in the late fifties, but its origins can be traced back to the ancient trading culture of the Venetian Republic.

With the opening of the first store in 1958, the exotic and glamorous supermarket concept imported from overseas became an everyday reality in Italy.

Over the years, the Group has implemented several other store formats to cover different market segments: soft and hard discount stores, hypermarkets, and a restaurant chain.
GruppoPam outlets and restaurants, located in Central and Northern Italy, do business under five different banners: Pam and Superal supermarkets; Panorama hypermarkets; Meta neighborhood stores; In’s Mercato hard discount stores; and the Brek restaurant chain.

Hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, hard discount and restaurants are run by different companies, each specialised in its own format.

The holding company, Gruppo Pam SpA, coordinates purchasing, distribution, legal affairs, human resources, administration and information systems.
