The return of Jüsto: technology and supermarket

Grupo Omni's acquisition of Jüsto marks a significant step in enhancing its technological capabilities and supermarket operations in Mexico.

Grupo Omni, under the leadership of Moisés Chavés, has been making waves in Mexico's economic landscape by strategically acquiring various businesses over the last three years. Their latest acquisition is Jüsto, a supermarket delivery service that stands out for being in relatively good condition compared to other companies acquired by the group, which have often been troubled or struggling. This acquisition is not just about expanding Grupo Omni's portfolio but also aims at innovating the food retail sector through advanced technology to offer home delivery services.

Chavés highlights the operational readiness of Jüsto, which already had a well-structured infrastructure and inventory before the deal was finalized. The company also had minimal debts with suppliers, which greatly facilitated a smooth transition. The return of Jüsto signifies a new model of selling groceries that could redefine how consumers in Mexico access their everyday needs. The group's focus on technology to enhance delivery efficiency shows a keen understanding of market trends, especially as online shopping is witnessing a rise in demand due to changing consumer behaviors.

With Jüsto back in operation, Grupo Omni is on the verge of achieving a break-even point, indicating a successful reintegration into the market. This move not only solidifies their presence in the supermarket sector but also aligns with their broader strategy to leverage technological advancements across their acquisitions. The implications of this acquisition could lead to increased competition in the grocery delivery market in Mexico, pushing other retailers to adapt and innovate to keep up with technological trends and consumer preferences.
