Grand Frais has reached the milestone of 350 stores in France, strengthening its position as a leader in the specialized fresh produce retail sector. The brand inaugurated its 350th "multifrais" on July 8th, confirming a steady growth path that has continued for several years. The new store opened in Romainville, in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, and represents a symbolic milestone for the group, born from the collaboration between Prosol, Euro Ethnic Foods, and Despi.
At the opening, Prosol, the brand's main partner, emphasized the value of teamwork that made reaching this new milestone possible. In a message posted on LinkedIn, the company noted that the 350th store is the result of the dedication of the teams who contributed to previous openings and welcomed the new employees.
The expansion of Grand Frais continues apace, with a new opening already scheduled for July 15, a sign of a development strategy that shows no signs of slowing down.
With 350 stores, Grand Frais maintains a clear lead over other French operators specializing in fresh produce. In second place is Mangeons Frais, a brand owned by the Blachère group, with 156 stores, less than half the size of Grand Frais. Next in line is Fresh, a brand owned by the Prosol group dedicated to fresh produce, with 77 stores in France.
The numerical gap highlights the dominant position achieved by Grand Frais in a segment that continues to attract consumers looking for assortments focused on fruit and vegetables, butchers, fishmongers, dairy products and specialty foods.
The multi-store format is one of the most recognizable models in French distribution, thanks to a specialized offering and the presence of different departments managed by dedicated operators.
Reaching the 350-store mark confirms the strength of the brand's development strategy and its ability to progressively consolidate its presence on the domestic market, maintaining a significant advantage over its main competitors in the sector.
