Casino’s Franprix stores are mainly located in and around Paris but the company is eyeing further expansion in other major French cities, not just the capital.
Jean-Michel Duhamel, president of Casino’s division that runs its Franprix and Leader Price discount supermarkets, said: “With the growing popularity of convenience stores in major cities, Franprix is becoming increasingly attractive. We have plans to open nearly a hundred stores in 2009, with a goal of 1,000 stores in 2012.”
