The rapid advance of France’s click-and-collect drive outlets slowed significantly in the first quarter of 2015.
The latest statistics from the April 2015 issue of Rayon Boissons show that the total number of drives on 1 March 2015 was 3,358. The figure is still increasing, but only by 40 overall since 1 January, after 57 openings and 17 closures.
The top 5 drive retailers by number of outlets on 1 March were Intermarché on 977, Courses U on 619, Leclerc on 562, Carrefour on 457 and Casino on 213.
