Keith Woolford Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The new Super Xtra store is located on south side of the PanAmerican highway, behind the PUMA service station and across the side street from Tambor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorrie Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Anyone know who the owners are? Is it a Panamanian company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger B Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Xtra Supermarkets enters in the grocery and supermarkets business in Panama way back in the early 1990's. A business very well dominated by the big chains like El Rey and Super 99. Riba Smith is in the high end market and in Panama City El Machetazo and El Fuerte were in the volume low income market. Super Xtra entered in the volume low income- prices market. They started in the populous San Miguelito district in Panama and they changed their strategy by opening new outlets in the different and important cities of the country. Answering Lorrie's questions. Yes. It is a Panamanian company. The company was founded by a Jewish community family in Panama. I guess they are still the owners or main stockholders. http://www.superxtra.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Woolford Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Anyone who has driven or taken the bus from Panama City to David would have probably seen the big Xtra store at Arraijan on the right hand side of the PanAmerican highway, as traffic slows there.
