PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Convenience retailers will navigate pricing pressures by offering evolving range of services
Urban and rural convenience stores are expected to face ongoing pricing challenges in France, with urban locations averaging prices 10% higher than supermarkets and hypermarkets, while rural stores are 15-20% more expensive. This pricing gap, combined with growing competition from discounters, will affect customer retention.
New opportunities for hybrid concepts lie within rural areas
Api is an innovative hybrid retail concept that brings together independent outlets partnered with Carrefour, positioned between rural convenience stores and automated vending locations. Growing from 15 to 65 locations in just one year across nine departments in western France, these mobile homes, converted into self-service convenience stores, are filling the retail void in villages without local commerce.
Auchan and Intermarché reshape market as Franprix tests new "Oxygen" store concepts
In late 2023, Auchan and Intermarché finalised the acquisition of hundreds of Casino hypermarkets, supermarkets, and large convenience stores, splitting them evenly. Auchan is set to take over the larger hypermarkets, while Intermarché will focus on smaller supermarkets and large convenience stores, ensuring the retention of store employees.
