The Federal Competition Commission said competition in the sector would not be affected by the acquisition, reported Reuters.
Although the price of the purchase was not disclosed, a source at Comerci told Reuters that Comerci would pay around US$91m over five years for the stores.
Comerci, which has around 230 outlets in five different store and restaurant format, began to consolidate sales from the stores as of 1 March.
