Takeover of the La Batelière hypermaket at La Martinique: Leclerc withdraws from the transaction

On 10 April 2020, the Autorité de la concurrence received a notification regarding the acquisition of a business operating a predominantly food store located in Schoelcher (Martinique) by a subsidiary company of the Parfait group, affiliated with the Association des Centres Distributeurs E. Leclerc (ACDLec), body that defines the strategy of the E. Leclerc movement. The target business was previously held by H Alimentation, which operated under the Casino brand.
