The Marinopoulos family dominated the Greek retail trade and pharmaceutical industry for decades. It began in 1893 with a pharmacy in Solon, while in 1949 FAMAR was founded. In 1962 he opened the first supermarket in Kolonaki. Dimitris Marinopoulos was president of BSE in 1966-1970 and 1974-1978. The family brought to Greece Marks & Spencer (1990), Gap (2008) and Starbucks. In June 2016 the chain went bankrupt with debts of more than 1 billion euros due to overborrowing, incorrect handling and family disputes. The network passed to Slavenis, and recently lost Starbucks.
