Our franchises

Moving forward as a franchise: openly, honestly and together

We move forward together

More than investing and building, we move forward together: from the design of your point of sale to the tailor-made development of your projects. Your dedicated franchise advisor and our business support teams are at your side on a day-to-day basis. Franchise associations are another way to get involved in the operational performance of the franchise network, to offer customers the best service. 

As a franchisee, you have strong local ties and a commitment to the place where you live. You give Auchan Retail the chance to develop a network in new regions. Together, we will deploy the elements of our Vision that enable everyone to live better, to focus on good food at the fairest price for local residents, and to support local agriculture and regional food production. You have both the acumen and experience of a business, and the passion of a customer. 

We will be at your side throughout your journey, from setting up your company to its development and growth. And with the shared ambition to move forward as a franchise: openly, honestly and together.
