   It is a supermarket chain, owned by a cooperative. Based on Basque   
   country. They had to sell a lot of venues, I see on the wikipedia map   
   that they only have sites in the north coast of Spain, and Malaga in the   
   south.   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eroski   
      
   I asked google the meaning of the word, and finally found it (I wondered   
   for years):   
      
   «If we look it up in Wikipedia, we find that EROSKI is a contraction of   
   the Basque words ‘erosi’ (to buy) and ‘toki’ (place), so we could   
   translate it as ‘place to buy’.»
