This reorganization is built on the shared conviction that convenience retail meets growing consumer demand for accessibility, practicality, everyday services, and local presence. With a strong footprint in Paris and the Île-de-France region, the Zouari family brings its field knowledge, consumer proximity, and operational expertise.

Under this framework, the expansion of the Franprix network will be driven by a new structure owned 60% by the Zouari family and 40% by Franprix. This entity will initially operate around thirty stores. The arrangement follows the model already established at Monoprix, where a dedicated structure currently operates approximately fifty Monop' stores.

These two vehicles are designed to support the opening, acquisition, and development of new points of sale, leveraging the operational skills of the teams and enhanced investment capacity.

In parallel, Franprix plans to take full control of Pro Distribution, in which it currently holds a 73% stake. This company operates approximately 90 stores.

The completion of the transaction remains subject to customary regulatory approvals, notably from the French Competition Authority, as well as required labor relations procedures. Closing is expected by the end of 2026.
