The day after breaking the threshold of 6 billion euros

Sklavenitis Group recorded another milestone in revenue performance last year, “breaking” the psychological threshold of 6 billion euros.

In practice, almost four out of ten euros that pass through the cash registers of organized retail end up in the Sklavenitis Group network. And as the bar has already been set high, the interest naturally shifts to the next level of size and growth.

In more detail, in a period when organized retail is moving at a consistently high pace, the industry leader maintains growth above the market average, confirming the dynamics and resilience of its business model.

Last year’s performance, according to information, “ran” faster than the industry average. The companies that map sales data nationwide, Circana and NielsenIQ, place the market growth for 2025 at 6.1% and 7.1% respectively.

So, if Sklavenitis “recorded” growth of around 8% – just one or two points above estimates – then the total turnover reached 6 billion euros, with a market share approaching 37%.

2026 fiscal year

The start of this year finds the strongest player in an advantageous position. The supermarket market is already “running” at a rate of 7%-8% in the first two months, while the Easter period which is earlier than last year acts as an accelerator for the first four months. The situation is favorable, but the group’s expectations remain demanding.

The group’s development plan is not limited to securing its supremacy on the shelf, but seeks to broaden the range of its activities. This year, the new concept concerning the revival of “Home Cooking” is being activated, with the launch at the first pilot point in Athens scheduled for the end of March.

The plan foresees a limited number of stores within the year, which will measure the returns of the venture. If the response confirms expectations, expansion outside Attica is considered a given. The management is keeping its cards close to the new name of the cooked meals arm, while the number of codes has not yet been “locked”. The core will be the menu already available in the chain’s stores – with an emphasis on quality, affordable price and the “homemade” feel.
