2.1.3. Supplying independent stores in France<br />

• Year of inception: 1996 (Coccinelle and CocciMarket) –<br />

2003 (Panier Sympa)<br />

• Active in: all of France<br />

• Number of stores: more than 250 Panier Sympa,<br />

CocciMarket and Coccinelle stores<br />

• Unaffiliated independent clients: 680<br />

• Average store surface area: 100 to 400 m²<br />

• Number of employees in FTE: 199 (+33)<br />

Within the holding company <strong>Colruyt</strong> France, Codi-France<br />

provides for the supplying of independent stores. This includes,<br />

on the one hand, the affiliated stores under the formulas<br />

Coccinelle, CocciMarket and Panier Sympa. These stores are<br />

supported in the area of pricing, marketing, communication,<br />

etc. Furthermore, on the other hand, there are around 680<br />

independent storekeepers without a formula that are only<br />

supplied.<br />

Developments<br />

In consultation with the own purchasing combination Francap,<br />

Codi-France worked on a complete restyling of Coccinelle<br />

and CocciMarket. Coccinelle Express is a new modern<br />

neighbourhood store with the emphasis on fresh products. Ten<br />

existing stores were converted to the new concept. In addition,<br />

the commercial team is focusing on opening additional<br />

neighbourhood stores operated by independent storekeepers<br />

based on the new model.<br />

Outlook<br />

In a very competitive market with fierce price pressure and higher<br />

transport costs, Codi-France is continuing to work on improving<br />

its profitability by, for example, limiting its radius of action and<br />

concentrating on the departments in which the wholesaler is<br />

already active. By working even more cost efficiently, Codi-<br />

France believes that it will be able to realise further cost savings.<br />

2.2. Foodservice<br />

The foodservice activities comprise Collivery and Foodinvest<br />

in Belgium and the Foodservice in France under the name<br />

Pro à Pro. The combined revenue over the past financial year<br />

amounted to EUR 599,4 million (-0,2%).<br />
