DIA, Spain’s fourth-largest grocery<\/a> retailer, increased its market share by 0.14 points to 5.1% in September compared to the same period last year, according to NielsenIQ data.<\/p>\n

At the same time, DIA<\/a> is accelerating its store expansion. CEO Ricardo \u00c1lvarez announced at the AECOC<\/a> congress that the company now aims to open approximately 90 new locations by the end of 2025, or a 50% increase from its initial strategic plan target of 60 openings per year, with a long-term goal of 300 new stores by 2029.<\/p>\n

Beyond its traditional supermarket openings, DIA has also forged a partnership with BP<\/a>, leading to the rollout of convenience stores at BP service stations.<\/p>\n

The partnership commenced with the opening of the first two stores at BP service stations<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Convenience And Accessibility<\/p>\n

The company’s \u2018Growing each day\u2019 strategic plan, launched in March, prioritises convenience and accessibility. This includes offering a balanced mix of national and international brands alongside a significantly revamped private label<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After a comprehensive four-year renewal, DIA’s private label now boasts 2,400 affordable, high-quality products, with \u2018New Dia Quality\u2018 products accounting for 58% of customer purchases.<\/p>\n

This revamp involved a complete review of recipes and formulations, supported by a network of local suppliers ensuring freshness and traceability.<\/p>\n

Fresh products, such as seasonal fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, national meats, and bakery items, are at the core of DIA’s new store concept.<\/p>\n

The retailer is also actively developing its ready-to-eat<\/a> product offering, with a new line of five meals already available, in response to evolving consumer demands.<\/p>\n

DIA\u2019s online presence now serves 84% of the Spanish population, including smaller towns, ensuring broad accessibility.<\/p>\n

To further enhance the in-store experience, DIA plans a substantial investment in renovating all its checkout lines.<\/p>\n

According to \u00c1lvarez, this modernisation will include new software, hardware, and physical checkouts.<\/p>\n

Pilot programmes for these renovations are slated to begin in November 2026, with a full network rollout expected in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DIA, Spain’s fourth-largest grocery retailer, increased its market share by 0.14 points to 5.1% in September compared to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":248604,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[28,45234,112],"class_list":["post-248603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-markets","tag-business","tag-dia","tag-markets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248603\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/248604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
