“In a climate of rising raw material and energy prices, customers consciously opt for the lowest prices. They can rely on Colruyt to provide both quality service and the lowest prices. This once more resulted in further market share gains,” the retailer said.

Meanwhile, revenue from the rest of Colruyt’s business, which includes the DATS 24 petrol stations, increased 26% to EUR164.1m.
