The organic chain consists of 158 stores and 1,500 employees and was founded in 2008 by Thierry Brissaud.
The third largest organic retail banner in France, the chain also operates forty foreign stores across Belgium, Italy, Japan, Spain and Switzerland. Commenting on the group’s plans, Moez-Alexandre Zouari said, “Bio c’Bon is on top of the two fundamental trends in the French food sector: the need for proximity and the need for food quality.”
The chain would be added to the Zouari Group’s portfolio, which already includes frozen food specialist Picard, which it acquired last year. The group also manages a number of Casino Group outlets (under the Franprix and Monoprix names) across France.
