Eden is a niche retailer set up four years ago, operating just two stores.


Yesterday, Blue Square, which operates 181 stores in Israel, said it had been the victim of an extortion attempt.


Blue Square said a lawyer had approached it on behalf of a supposed client who claimed there were certain defects at the meat operation in the Park Raanana Mega store operated by BSIP.
