Extra (retail chain)

Extra Hipermercados, commonly referred to as just Extra, is a Brazilian hypermarket and supermarket chains owned by grupo Pão de Açúcar.

As of December 2005, Extra has 76 stores. Some of these stores came from the acquisitions of Paes Mendonça (smaller stores were converted to Pão de Açúcar and CompreBem) and Sendas (Sendas' Bon Marché hypermarkets were rebranded to Extra Bon Marché) by the group.

On 23 May 2019, Rallye S.A., owner of Groupe Casino, which owned a majority stake in GPA, current parent of Extra, declared bankruptcy protection in an effort to maintain its high debt costs. Casino later announced that same day that the bankruptcy would not affect any of their subsidiaries and that operations would continue normally.

In 2024, Casino USA filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy.
