PROFILE |
 |
Association des Centres Distributeurs E. Leclerc aims to buy cheap. Founded in 1949, the French grocery and consumer goods cooperative serves about 550 individually owned hypermarkets and supermarkets, mostly in France under the Galec banner, and others in Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain. Owners take advantage of the group's volume purchasing power, while also selling locally produced goods to preserve the image of a local concern. The company's hypermarkets offer automobile service centers, dining, pharmacies, and travel services. E. Leclerc has an alliance with retailer SystEme U for shared buying power and other benefits.
