Géant Casino hypermarkets’ broad offering is based on four specific characteristics: the predominance of the Casino private label, the extension and value-added presentation of fresh products, the development of new non-food concepts such as decoration and lifestyle items, and low prices.

The Géant Casino concept is designed to make shopping an easy, pleasurable experience,with helpful staff, agreeable layout, quality fittings, clear signage that directs traffic efficiently and original non-food offerings (textile, housewares, culture, electronics, e-commerce, etc.).

The price-cutting policy was a success for the Géant hypermarkets, which enjoyed a surge in both food and non-food sales volumes and an increase in revenue in the fourth quarter. The banner is proud to be the co-price leader in the hypermarket segment.

The majority of Géant Casino hypermarkets are located in southern France.

Hyper Casino

Smaller than a hypermarket but larger than a supermarket, this banner combines a close-in location with a broad offering that closely reflects that found in a Géant Casino, including for non-food products.
