Our Banners

Its various banners provide the Casino Group with a presence in every grocery retail format in the French market, as well as a leading role in non-food e-commerce. Each banner's positioning is specially tailored to precisely defined consumer needs. The preponderance of convenience and discount formats reflects emerging consumption trends and new consumer constraints.

Hypermarkets

Géant Casino

Casino Géant - a hypermarket on a human scale - differs significantly from its rival banners in five ways:

the predominance of own-brand products,
the breadth and visibility of its fresh food offerings,
the creation of an attractive, dramatic sales environment,
the pertinence of its non-food offerings (textiles, decor, lifestyle, electronics, etc.),
the transformation of the surrounding shopping centres into modern, welcoming, friendly spaces.

This strategy of differentiation, adopted several years ago, has enabled Casino Géant to perform satisfactorily and outpace the market in an economic climate that is not conducive to the hypermarket format.

Convenience stores

Casino supermarkets

This widely recognised banner owes its success to being closely aligned with consumers' expectations regarding freshness, quality and convenience, all at a good price.

As the focus of ongoing expansion, with 17 new store openings in 2008, the banner now extends to X supermarkets located throughout France.

Petit Casino, Spar, Vival

These banners - all household names among convenience retail outlets, with an especially dense network of over 6,000 stores - are located both in cities and rural areas, where they are greatly appreciated by local residents.

Discount stores

Leader Price

The Casino Group foresaw several years ago that discount retailing would emerge as a major force, and has made Leader Price its standard-bearer in the market. The banner's offering, which consists entirely of own-brand products and extends to 3,500 items, is among the largest and most competitive in the industry.

With a fast-expanding network of X stores, the banner intends to open 1,000 additional locations within the next five years.
