The first four Supermercados Selectos stores opened in 1978, after Carlos Torres, a Puerto Rican businessman, took the initiative of organizing a number of small mom-and-pop ("colmado") stores group into one integrated company, in order to compete against larger supermarkets. (See certificate of incorporation.) [2] Another one of the chain's first owners was Ignacio Veloz Camejo, honorary president of Centro Unido de Detallistas de Puerto Rico since 1991.[3]

In 1995, the chain was purchased by Edwin Ortiz.[4]
