Casino, managed for 20 years by Jean-Charles Naouri, passes into the hands of its buyers led by the Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky. The new team will have a lot to do to revive it.
The distributor's French workforce will increase from 50,000 at the end of 2022 to 28,212 after the sale of numerous stores to its competitors Intermarché, Auchan and Carrefour. In total, once the transfers already recorded have been fully finalized, the new group will have an turnover of around 9 billion euros.
