Consum
Consum is a leading Spanish retail cooperative headquartered in Silla, Valencia, operating a network of supermarkets primarily across the Valencian Community, Catalonia, Murcia, and Andalusia. With over 800 stores and more than 19,000 employees, it is one of the largest food retail groups in Spain, known for its cooperative ownership model, strong private-label portfolio, and focus on fresh and regional products.
As a company founded in Spain with deep local roots, Consum offers a strongly local work environment where Spanish is the primary language. For international professionals, the main draw is the high demand for store-level roles (e.g., sales associates, cashiers, shelf replenishment) in smaller towns like Navàs, Olot, and Almacelles, which may offer a low-cost living environment and a chance to work in a customer-oriented, cooperative culture. Roles are typically in-person and require conversational Spanish.
Company History
Consum was founded in 1968 as a small consumer cooperative in Valencia by a group of 160 families. It grew steadily by mergers and organic expansion, becoming a major supermarket chain in eastern Spain. Today it operates as a cooperative owned by more than 400,000 member-consumers.
For International Professionals
- Consum is a cooperative, meaning profits are partly redistributed to worker-members, offering potential financial benefits beyond salary.
- All open roles are store-based (sales, cashier, shelf-stocking) and primarily require customer-facing Spanish skills.
- The company is headquartered in Silla (Valencia province), but open positions are in Catalonia (Navàs, Olot, Almacelles), so relocation within Spain may be needed.
- Large national company with over 800 stores, offering stability and growth within a cooperative framework.
- Work schedule is typically suited for daily shifts and may not offer remote work for these positions.
