The history of CRAI begins in 1973, when a group of retailers decides to unify. Thus was born in Desenzano del Garda the "Commissionarie Riunite Alta Italia". Currently, most of the network is made up of medium-small size shops, mostly [[superette]]s, and are positioned in a patchy way on the Italian and foreign territory: in fact, the brand has also established itself in Albania, in Malta<ref name="Pekic 2021">{{cite web | last=Pekic | first=Branislav | title=Codè Crai Ovest Invests €30m In Opening 30 New Stores | website=ESM Magazine | date=12 October 2021 | url=https://www.esmmagazine.com/retail/code-crai-ovest-earmarks-e30mn-open-30-new-stores-149272 | access-date=8 March 2022}}</ref> and Switzerland where there are around a hundred shops. After obtaining the certification of the brand, CRAI has also created a line of products distributed only in its own stores.
