Spanish-language podcast interview (Cracks Podcast #315) in which Oso Trava interviews Ángel Losada, president of the board of Grupo Gigante. Major themes: the founding and consolidation of Gigante (inaugurated 28 Nov 1962), the family's role and succession dynamics, growth by acquisitions (buying ~12–13 supermarket chains), strategic shift in 2007 (sale of supermarket operations; retained real estate and pivot to JVs and franchising such as PETCO, Shake Shack, CasaIdeas), operational lessons on roll-ups (centralize back office, keep regional buying teams, bring trusted leaders), and personal history (Losada was kidnapped for 102 days in 1994, which influenced his outlook). The episode also covers Fundación Gigante (social focus on education and health; program ~26 years old with joint funding and large-scale optometry outreach), current divisions (real estate, retail, restaurants), e-commerce challenges, and Losada’s daily habits and plans approaching age 70.
