Founded in 1929 by Tobías Polakof in Maldonado, it was the first supermarket in the interior of Uruguay. It is a family business with Uruguayan capital, owned by the firm Polakof y Cía S.A.. [1] Tito Polakf brought the idea of the supermarket back from a trip and set up the first one on 18 of July 877 Street, half a block from Plaza San Fernando in Maldonado. [2]

In 2024 it opens its first hypermarket in Montevideo.[3]
