Rami Levy, the owner and co-CEO of the Israeli supermarket chain Rami Levy, has revealed that he is in negotiations to open branches abroad. Levy made these statements during an appearance on Ben Ben Baruch's podcast, where he confirmed ongoing discussions about international expansion.
Levy explained that he is actively exploring and negotiating the possibility of opening stores overseas, citing significant demand. He shared an observation from a recent three-week stay in Miami during wartime, where he found prices for locally produced goods to be three to four times higher than in Israel. He also noted that U.S. marketers are approaching him to purchase products that they then sell at a considerably higher markup in America.
Levy expressed confidence that his successful strategy in Israel, which focuses on offering quality and service at low prices without compromise, could be replicated internationally. He believes that if implemented correctly, the model could achieve substantial success abroad.
Meanwhile, competitor Osher Ad has already expanded internationally, launching its Bingo brand in the U.S. in 2018 and opening four East Coast branches. The company plans to open three more locations, including in Miami, which has a significant Jewish community.
When asked for details about the ongoing negotiations, including potential locations and timelines, Yafit Attias, co-CEO and Levy's daughter, stated that she could not provide any information at this time.
