PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Hypermarket model – outdated for ready for reinvention?
Despite facing long-standing scepticism, the hypermarket model remains a fixture in French retail. In today’s digital age, the channel is contending with fierce competition from hard discounters and specialised retailers, as well as shifting consumer expectations driven by climate concerns.
