Direct peers

• COOP Jednota České Budějovice: Another regional Jednota consumer cooperative under the same national COOP network, operating supermarkets and village stores in South Bohemia. Same cooperative model, same brand architecture, similar product mix and private-label strategy.
• Jednota spotřební družstvo v Hodoníně: A sibling Jednota consumer cooperative operating in the neighboring Hodonín district of South Moravia, under the same COOP network umbrella. Operates a similar multi-store grocery format with private labels and loyalty integration, making it the closest regional peer.
• COOP Morava: The coordinating entity for COOP cooperatives across Moravia; manages joint campaigns, COOP Club loyalty, and private-label programs that Jednota participates in. Ing. Rostislav Mahdal serves as Managing Director of COOP Morava, evidencing direct governance overlap.

Broad incumbents
