DINOSOL SUPERMERCADOS SL
Dinosol Supermercados, S.L. is a Spanish private limited company (sociedad limitada) registered with the Registro Mercantil de Las Palmas under CIF B61742565, with its registered address at Carretera del Rincon, s/n, 35010 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Commercial-registry sources show the company was previously registered under the name Ahold Supermercados, S.L., reflecting an earlier period of ownership by Dutch retail group Koninklijke Ahold before the entity took its present name; Zavia.ai’s registry data records the company’s current status as active.
Dinosol Supermercados operates the HiperDino supermarket chain, the leading food-retail brand in the Canary Islands, together with related store formats including SuperDino neighbourhood supermarkets, HiperDino Express convenience stores in tourist areas, the EcoDino organic-food format and DinoShop fuel-station retail outlets. The chain runs more than 260 stores across the Canary Islands archipelago and, according to trade press, holds close to a quarter of the regional grocery market, ahead of national chains such as Mercadona and Lidl in that market.
Press reporting on the group’s 2025 sale process put consolidated turnover for the HiperDino/Dinosol chain at approximately EUR 1.6 billion for the 2024 financial year, with EBITDA of around EUR 140 million. These figures were reported at the level of the wider HiperDino/Dinosol business rather than confirmed as the standalone filed accounts of this specific legal entity, whose own published financial statements were not independently reviewed for this profile.
In April 2025, Spanish business media reported that the founding Dominguez family and co-shareholder Javier Puga, who together were reported to control roughly 90% of the group, had engaged financial adviser Arcano to run a sale process for the HiperDino/Dinosol business at an asking valuation above EUR 1.1 billion, with Spanish retailer DIA, Portugal’s Sonae and a group linked to Czech investor Daniel Kretinsky named among parties reported to have shown interest; no completed transaction has been confirmed. Ahead of that process, an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting on 2 September 2024 approved a partial corporate split (escision parcial) transferring part of Dinosol Supermercados’ assets to related company Aja Inversiones, S.L., a restructuring reported in the Canary Islands press as separating certain assets from the retail operating business.

Shareholders
Dinosol Supermercados, S.L. is a privately held Spanish sociedad limitada; as an unlisted company it is not subject to the share-disclosure requirements that apply to listed issuers, and Zavia.ai’s registry-sourced data indicates that itemised shareholder filings were not available for this entity at the time of the most recent registry sync (15 September 2026). External reporting from Canary Islands and national business press consistently describes the company as privately controlled by the founding Dominguez family – brothers Jose Abraham Dominguez Santana and Andres Dominguez Santana, who founded the original HiperDino chain in 1978 and, together with associates, reacquired it in 2012 – along with co-shareholder and director Javier Puga. April 2025 press coverage of the group’s sale process reported that this group jointly controls approximately 90% of the business. Zavia.ai’s corporate-linkage data separately identifies Aja Inversiones, S.L. (Spanish registration number ES B35796960) as the entity’s immediate parent; a partial corporate split approved by both companies’ shareholders on 2 September 2024 transferred part of Dinosol’s assets to Aja Inversiones, with minority Dinosol shareholders reported to have received proportional shares in Aja Inversiones as part of that restructuring. No itemised percentage shareholding was located from an authoritative registry filing for this profile.
### Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for this entity is partial: the controlling family group and the immediate parent company (Aja Inversiones, S.L.) are corroborated by multiple press sources and by Zavia.ai’s linkage data, but individual, percentage-level shareholdings were not confirmed from an official Registro Mercantil or Registro de Titularidades Reales filing for this profile.

Officers
5
Zavia.ai’s registry-sourced data for Dinosol Supermercados, S.L. lists eight officer records, of which five are shown as active members of the company’s board (consejo de administracion) under Spain’s Ley de Sociedades de Capital: two corporate directors, including Anyaicon Sociedad Limitada, and three natural-person directors, including two holding the role of Consejero Delegado Solidario (joint managing director with individual signing authority) and one further consejero. Anyaicon Sociedad Limitada’s position as a corporate board member is independently corroborated by a separate commercial-information provider (Infonif). External business-information and press sources describe the wider board as including members of the founding Dominguez family – reported in some sources as Jose Abraham Dominguez Santana (described as chairman) and Andres Dominguez Santana (vice-chairman) – together with representatives of the Puga family, consistent with the company’s controlling shareholder group. Because independent secondary sources report some individual and corporate director names inconsistently against Zavia.ai’s own registry-sourced officer data, this profile does not assert a definitive one-to-one mapping of names to board roles beyond what Zavia.ai’s registry-sourced data itself shows. No appointment or resignation dates were disclosed in the data reviewed, and nationality is not disclosed for any officer.
### Data availability
Officer disclosure for this Spanish entity is partial: board composition and role titles (consejero, consejero delegado solidario) are available, but appointment and resignation dates and officer nationality are not disclosed in the sources reviewed, and secondary commercial sources show some inconsistency in individual director names that could not be resolved against an official Registro Mercantil filing for this profile.

Group Structure
Dinosol Supermercados, S.L. is not an independent company. Zavia.ai’s corporate-linkage data identifies Aja Inversiones, S.L. (Spain, registration number ES B35796960) as its immediate parent, a relationship consistent with external reporting that Aja Inversiones is the investment vehicle through which the Dominguez family and Javier Puga reacquired the HiperDino business in 2012. No ultimate parent beyond Aja Inversiones was identified, and no verified direct or indirect subsidiaries of Dinosol Supermercados were confirmed from an authoritative source for this profile; the group’s retail operations extend across the Canary Islands and, more recently, the Balearic Islands under the HiperDino, SuperDino, HiperDino Express, EcoDino and DinoShop trading formats, which are reported as operating brands rather than confirmed as separate subsidiary legal entities. Information is current as of Zavia.ai’s most recent registry sync on 15 September 2026, supplemented by press reporting retrieved 16 September 2026.

### Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for this entity is parent only: the immediate parent (Aja Inversiones, S.L.) is verified through Zavia.ai’s registry-sourced linkage data and corroborated by independent press reporting, but no ownership percentage, ultimate parent beyond Aja Inversiones, or subsidiary entities were confirmed from an authoritative source for this profile.
