History
The first Konzum store was opened in Zagreb in 1957. Unikonzum was established in 1970 by joining four retail chain stores: Črnomerec, Konzum, Moslavka and Slavonia. Konzum's business has been steadily growing and greatly expanded after Croatia broke off from former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. Since then it has expanded into Croatia's biggest supermarket chain. It joined the Agrokor group in 1994.

In 1995, the name Unikonzum was changed back to Konzum and restructured its operations according to the project by the consultant and introduced their EPoS application.

In 2002, Konzum completed the acquisition of Alastor, the third largest food retailer in Croatia.

The expansion continued in 2003 with the opening of 70 new branches and an increase in the number of employees from 5,000 to 7,000. Since 2005 there are Konzum sales outlets in all parts of Croatia.
