Sales Increase by 7,22% in 2025. Extraordinary General Meeting for new cash distribution
Jumbo Group’s total sales increased by +7,22% y-o-y for the full year 2025, despite significant supply chain challenges in Greece and globally.
Notably, through November 2025 (eleven-month period), the Group maintained a growth rate of approximately +8%.
Nevertheless, in the critical month of December, the Group’s growth rate was almost halved, to 4,14% y-o-y.
- The deviation of December’s performance from the year’s average growth rate, is mainly attributable to disruptions in the supply chain during the holiday season, due to the widely known road network blockades, which affected not only the domestic distribution of goods but—primarily—the flow of exports to neighboring countries.
The Group’s management aims to highlight, across the political spectrum, that in today’s complex economic and geopolitical environment, Greece cannot afford to put the economy second. Citizens’ prosperity depends directly on safeguarding and strengthening the domestic market, as well as on ensuring the uninterrupted flow of exports—which may be more critical than ever, given the country’s demographic challenges.
Extraordinary General Meeting for a New Cash Distribution
The management announces that a General Meeting of Shareholders has been scheduled for 4 February 2026, with the agenda item being the approval of a new extraordinary cash distribution.
The amount to be distributed forms part of the extraordinary reserves arising from taxed and undistributed profits of previous financial years and amounts to EUR 67.182.780,50, or EUR 0,50 per share (based on a total of 134.365.561 outstanding shares of the Company).
- Subject to approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders, the ex-dividend date for the extraordinary cash distribution is set for 23 March 2026.
The record date for determining eligible shareholders will be 24 March 2026, while the payment date for the extraordinary cash distribution will be 30 March 2026.

Investments – Store Network
During 2025, the new Company-owned hyperstore in the city of Timișoara (Romania) and the e-shop in Bulgaria commenced operations.
As of 31 December 2025, the JUMBO Group operated 89 stores, of which 53 in Greece, 6 in Cyprus, 10 in Bulgaria and 20 in Romania.
In addition, the Group operates e-shops in Greece, Cyprus, Romania and Bulgaria.
The JUMBO Group consistently continues to implement its strategy of sustainable growth and enhanced competitiveness, for the benefit of both consumers and its shareholders-partners.
In periods during which the Group does not proceed with the addition of new stores, management focuses on the strategic acquisition of existing leased properties, where deemed commercially and financially appropriate.
This approach aims to reduce operating expenses, optimize the utilization of real estate assets and maximize capital returns.
Within 2025, the acquisition of three (3) leased stores in Greece was completed. The proportion of Company-owned stores currently stands at approximately 70%.
Through partnerships, the Group has a presence with 43 stores bearing the JUMBO brand in seven (7) countries (Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, North Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Israel).
Fox Group, which holds the exclusive JUMBO franchise agreement in Israel and Canada, plans to expand its store network in Israel by 5–6 stores in 2026.
In addition, it intends to open three (3) JUMBO stores in Canada, in Ontario, also within 2026, provided that no complications arise that could delay the openings.
