After the first branch drew thousands of customers in its first days of operation, Rami Levy’s stock chain is preparing for further expansion. The location and opening date of the next branch have now been revealed, and it is expected to open in a more central and accessible area for consumers.

Rami Levy opened the first stock store in February in Pardes Hanna-Karkur, bringing the market a promise of low prices alongside a variety of products that are less common in other stock chains. The store managed to attract thousands of customers from its first day, but one of the main criticisms concerned its location, which was considered less accessible for part of the public. It is now known where the second branch will open and in which month.

The “Rami Levy Stock” chain is preparing to open a second branch and has even been teasing the location on social media. It has now been learned for the first time that the branch is expected to open in the Ramla-Lod Junction area, on a site spanning thousands of square meters, similar to the first branch. It was also learned that the branch will open during the coming August. In addition, the chain may eventually open dozens of branches across the country.

The chain is trying to distinguish itself from the traditional stock market by selling products from categories that are not usually associated with the sector, including smartphones, bicycles, branded shoes and other products, alongside a wide range of goods for the home and family. With the opening of the first branch in Pardes Hanna, demand was especially high. On the first day alone, the branch posted sales of about 1.7 million shekels before VAT, with thousands of customers visiting the store.

“Rami Levy Stock” is jointly owned, with Rami Levy holding 51% of the shares and the rest held by other partners. The company’s activity is currently consolidated into the financial reports of the Rami Levy Shivuk Hashikma Group, so the stock chain’s profit figures are not reported separately to the public.

By comparison, the stock market remains one of the fastest-growing retail sectors in Israel. Max Stock, considered the largest player in the sector, ended 2025 with revenue of about 1.42 billion shekels.

Stock chains have long since stopped selling only home goods or office supplies. They are entering new areas, for example, Max Stock has recently begun a shift with greater emphasis on furniture and design, selling dining sets, sofas, dressers, dining chairs and more. The chains are reinventing their product mix at accessible prices to attract customers. For consumers, the opening of the new branch may broaden competition in the stock market and make the chain more accessible to the central region, which could lead to more aggressive promotions and a price war with competing chains that may rethink which products to bring into their stores.
