Casino Guichard

Founded in 1898, Casino Group has established its headquarters in Saint-Étienne, France, and has grown to become a key player in several business categories including Hypermarkets and Supermarkets, Convenience Stores, Discount Stores, E-commerce, and Real Estate. The company's brand portfolio features prominent names like Géant Casino, Casino Supermarchés, Monoprix, Franprix, and Cdiscount, its e-commerce platform. The brand Leader Price also played a significant role in the group until its sale to Aldi in 2020. Additionally, the group's convenience store lineup includes Vival and Spar. Naturalia enhances the group's presence in the organic retail market. Casino Group has a considerable presence in France, which remains its most important market. Beyond France, Casino Group is also a significant retailer in South America, particularly through Grupo Pão de Açúcar (GPA) in Brazil, Éxito Group in Colombia, and operations in Uruguay and Argentina, although in the latter there has been a reduction in assets. Throughout its existence, the company's international presence, especially in South America, has seen fluctuations and transformations shaped by strategic sales and acquisitions, indicating a dynamic approach to its market presence and operations.
