Casino Group or Casino Guichard-Perrachon is a French mass-market retail group. It was founded on 2 August 1898 by Geoffroy Guichard under the corporate name Guichard-Perrachon & Co.[2]
Casino Group is the source of many innovations, such as the first distributor's brand in 1901,[3] the first self-service store in 1948,[4] or even the display of a sell-by date on consumer products in 1959.
Casino Group operates across all food and non-food formats: supermarkets, convenience stores, discount stores, and wholesale stores. Casino Group owns other brands such as Monoprix, Franprix, Cdiscount, Vival, and Le Petit Casino.
As of 2017 Casino Group, managed by Jean-Charles Naouri, was quoted on the Paris Stock Exchange and had total revenue of €37.8 billion.[5] As of November 2021, the group has a market capitalization of approximately €2.35 billion.[6]
Between June 2023 and October 2024, in the grip of a financial crisis linked to its debt, the group closed or sold all of its Casino supermarkets and Géant hypermarkets in France to competitors. [7] During this crisis, Casino and Géant brands are also gradually being replaced by competitors in various countries. [8]
The group employs 28,200 people in April 2024.[9]
In its results for the first half of 2024, the Casino group announced that the Leader Price franchise activities are part of the discontinued operations.
From 2024 a consortium lead by Daniel Kretinsky will own and control 53.7% of Casino's share capital.[10]
