MOLDRETAIL GROUP
MOLDRETAIL GROUP is a limited liability company (Societate cu Răspundere Limitată) registered in Moldova under IDNO 1010600022460, incorporated on 13 July 2010, with a registered address at șos. Muncești 121, Botanica sector, Chișinău, MD-2002. Public registry aggregator sources report the company status as active; a direct, dated extract from the Public Services Agency of Moldova commercial register could not be obtained during this review, as that register does not offer unrestricted free-text search.
Moldretail Group is the operating and administrative company behind the Linella supermarket brand. The retail concept behind Linella dates to a kiosk-format store opened in the Ciocana district of Chișinău in October 2001, while the Moldretail Group legal entity was incorporated later, in 2010, and today administers the Linella retail network and its online shopping platform at linella.md. The principal business activity is retail sale in non-specialized stores with food products, beverages and tobacco predominating, carried out through supermarket and hypermarket-format outlets under the Linella, Super Linella and Express Linella fascias.
Moldovan retail trade press also identifies Fidesco, Cip Market and Bravo as store chains operated by the group, and reported the Linella network at around 175 stores by the end of 2023, describing it as the leading food-retail chain in Moldova. On 13 May 2025, the Competition Council of Moldova approved the acquisition by Moldretail Grup S.R.L. of Fourchette-M S.R.L., subject to a three-year monitoring period requiring divestment of five Chișinău-area stores to an independent operator within six months and preservation of existing supplier relationships.

Shareholders of MOLDRETAIL GROUP
Moldova’s commercial registry, as mirrored by public company-data aggregators (Data2B, Infobiz.md, Informer.md), records a single founder holding 100% of the company at incorporation on 13 July 2010: Vasile Dragan. A direct, dated extract from the Public Services Agency of Moldova register could not be retrieved during this review, since that register does not offer unrestricted free-text search, so this founder-level holding cannot be confirmed as the present-day shareholding structure. No share classes, incorporation share-capital breakdown, or subsequent share-transfer filings were located.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Moldovan retail trade press (Mold-street.com, Bani.md, Telex.md) consistently identifies Vasile Dragan as the businessman behind Moldretail Group and its Linella retail network, describing him as owner of the group alongside other Moldovan enterprises such as Ducates Grup. This attribution is reported in news coverage rather than in a beneficial-ownership filing accessible during this review, so no calculated or officially filed effective ownership percentage can be presented; the underlying registry-level beneficial-ownership declaration was not located.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for Moldovan limited liability companies (S.R.L.) is held in the state registry, which was not directly and freely searchable during this review; the information above is drawn from secondary registry aggregators rather than a primary registry extract. Availability is classified as Partial.

Group Structure
Group structure of MOLDRETAIL GROUP
Moldretail Group S.R.L. operates as the legal entity behind several Moldovan food-retail fascias rather than a single-store business. Moldovan retail trade press reports that the company operates the Linella network (including the Super Linella and Express Linella formats), together with the Fidesco, Cip Market and Bravo chains. On 13 May 2025, the Competition Council of Moldova approved the acquisition by Moldretail Grup S.R.L. of Fourchette-M S.R.L., a separate Moldovan retail company, subject to a three-year monitoring period requiring divestment of five Chișinău-area stores to an independent operator within six months of completion and preservation of existing supplier relationships. No verified immediate or ultimate parent company of Moldretail Group itself, and no subsidiary incorporation filings, were located in the sources reviewed; the brand relationships above are documented through trade-press and regulatory coverage rather than a corporate ownership filing.
