About Juan Roig
The richest grocer in Spain, Juan Roig is president and majority owner of supermarket giant Mercadona.
Roig, his three siblings and wife Hortensia Herrero, bought the chain in 1981 from his father when it had just 8 stores.
By 2006, Mercadona had opened its 1,000th store; it now has about 1,700 locations, with about 40 in Portugal.
Mercadona's nearly 100,000 employees receive about a 20% share of the company's pretax profits.
