 PROFILE
Auchan's mammoth markets make room for more than meals. One of the largest worldwide retailers, Auchan Group operates about 250 hypermarkets and more than 500 supermarkets in about a dozen countries. France provides 70% of its sales, but the company has operations throughout Europe, China, Thailand, Argentina, Mexico, and the US (Houston only). Its hypermarkets carry up to 100,000 products including groceries, clothing, consumer electronics, and fast food. They also provide travel services. Auchan runs Leroy Merlin, a leading home improvement retail chain in France (150 stores). Auchan is expanding into Morocco, Russia, and Taiwan. The founding Mulliez family owns about 84% of Auchan; employees own the rest.
