Franprix

Franprix consists of convenience stores under 500 m2, concentrated in Paris and the inner suburbs of the Île-de-France region: a sector that supermarkets (often located on the outskirts of urban areas) were unable to fully satisfy.

At the same time, Franprix expanded into other major French cities, with the first store outside the Île-de-France region opening in Lyon in 2004.

[9] In 2016, Franprix signed a partnership with Western Union, to install its money transfer terminals in stores.

[10] Another partnership has been signed with the social enterprise Phénix to collect and redistribute unsold goods to local associations.

This restructuring procedure would allow for the company to cut high debt and improve recent losses to other rival supermarket corporations.
