Information France Bleu: it is now official, the Casino de Saint-Gabriel supermarket, in the 14th arrondissement of Marseille, will close permanently. After the great financial difficulties encountered by the Casino group, originally from Saint-Étienne, more than twenty stores across France have not found a buyer. In Marseille, this closure will directly impact the 36 employees of the Saint-Gabriel Casino.
The Casino des Caillols saved by Auchan, that of Saint-Gabriel closed permanently
In total, these are nearly a thousand employees nationwide which will be affected by the closures of non-takeover brands. For the Casino group, these closures are part of a cost reduction strategy after several months marked by significant financial difficulties, leading to the search for buyers for a large part of its assets.
In Marseille, the Caillols supermarket and its almost 300 employees was finally saved by the acquisition of Auchan.
