Yeinot Bitan (Template:Lang-he, lit. Bitan's Wines) is a family-owned Israeli supermarket chain. Along with its own brand, it owns the Mega chain. As of 2019, the chain runs nearly 200 stores in Israel.
History
Yeinot Bitan was founded in 1982,[citation needed] when Nahum Bitan purchased a small alcohol store in Ashkelon, Israel.[1] In 1995 the store expanded, when it purchased a disused movie theater and converted it into a supermarket. It proceeded to acquire small supermarket chains Hyper Rama (Template:Lang-he) and Yad Yitzhak (Template:Lang-he) in 2006, and by 2007 counted 11 branches throughout Israel.[citation needed] In 2012 Yeinot Bitan purchased yet another chain, Kim'at Hinam Stores (Template:Lang-he), with 35 branches, more than the brand Yeinot Bitan itself, and having a similar revenue.[1]
On June 30, 2015, it acquired Mega, one of the largest supermarket chains in Israel, mostly active in city centers, for NIS 455 million. The chain had had about 120 branches, bringing Yeinot Bitan's total to over 180.[2][3] In 2017, the Yeinot Bitan brand (not including Mega) spun off its 23 city-center branches into a new branch, Yeinot Bitan in the City.[2] The year 2017 proved difficult for the chain and its owners, having disagreements with suppliers, fines from the Israel's antitrust regulator and liquidity issues, among others.[4]
Business
As of 2019, Yeinot Bitan was the third-largest supermarket chain in Israel, with 185 branches, NIS 4.8 billion in revenue, and 8,200 employees.[5] Its headquarters are in Rishon LeZion, Israel.[2] It operates stores under multiple brands: Yeinot Bitan, Yeinot Bitan in the City, Mehadrin Market (geared at the Haredi public) and Mega BaIr.[4]
