Strategy
Casino Group has tailored its business model to suit the polarized behavior of consumers. With some consumers focusing mainly on product and service quality, and others hunting for bargains, the company has decided to cater to both groups’ needs by offering multiple brands and multiple formats. To meet the rising demand for organic food, Casino Group has launched two new banners focused on fresh produce: Franprix Noé in France and Carulla FreshMarket in Colombia. On the omnichannel front, the company has expanded operations of its Cdiscount e-commerce banner, opening physical stores where consumers can access products online through touchscreens and shop at online prices in-store.
