History

edit

the chain emerged following their previous venture, the "Alef" marketing chain, which catered primarily to an ultra-Orthodox audience. The trio, affiliated with the secular Gor and Naiad Hasidim, initially sold their shares in "Alf" to Shufersal in 2008 for NIS 140 million, leading to the establishment of Osher Ad after a one-year cooling-off period.[1]
