A famous supermarket begins to close all its storesthis brand has decided to start saying goodbye to Spain and its customers. Competition between supermarkets is greater than it seems. We have a wide range of products and a lack of buyers or at least a decrease in turnover, given the current economic conditions. These are not easy times for any business, on the contrary, especially in our country, maintaining ourselves is not easy at all, we are faced with a series of details that can be essential.
Without a doubt, we will have to be aware of every situation that arises, of store openings, but also of closures that can fully affect us. If we are in the habit of making certain purchases, it would be better if we stop making them or, at least, try not to make them in such a direct way. It is time to clearly focus on certain details that could end up being those that make the difference in every way. You will need to be aware of a range of situations that may put you in a very different position. Supermarkets are also closing and are exposed to different difficulties.
He closes all his stores
Start questioning the business modelit’s something we all need to start doing and to achieve this there is nothing better than making a series of processes a reality that can be fundamental and that you might not otherwise have taken into account so far. These are days when it will be time to put into practice certain key actions.
The business models of supermarkets have changed a lot in recent times, especially if we take into account that during the pandemic purchases in these establishments were among the few that could be made. So we had a series of details that ended up being the ones that made the difference in every way.
An option that once gave us respite and has helped many food businesses continue exceptionally well. But be careful, because what is happening today is something radically different. We are facing a cycle change for which we must prepare.
This supermarket is facing a series of problems that can be essential and have become something to take into account. It is the company that plans its activity in France.
Farewell to this famous supermarket
These closures occur in the context of one of the most numerous supermarket chains in Spain. Although they do not affect stores in our country, they have shocked France, place of origin of this supermarket chain, which we may not have known well until now.
The Alcampo site presents itself as: “Alcampo we are 24,000 professionals Passionate about business, we wake up every day to make our Vision a reality: Eat Well & Live Better, while taking care of the Planet. We belong to the international Auchan Retail group, present in 12 countries, with more than 2,350 points of sale. We have been present in Spain since 1981 and today have more than 500 physical stores (hypermarkets and supermarkets) and an online commerce service, in addition to around fifty service stations. Guided by our values, trust, excellence and openness, we want to create value in our environment and be a brand that makes sense for our customers, our team, our suppliers, our shareholders and society in general .
Aucham is the brand par excellence to which we will have to start saying goodbye in France. It saw a 4% drop in sales in 2024, so it’s no surprise that it decided to close its least profitable stores and abandon some of its supermarkets.
It’s an adjustment that all supermarkets end up making sooner or later, especially if they have expanded a lot in recent times. It is not surprising that we are faced with situations that will make a significant difference.
It’s time to see how this supermarket bids farewell to its most emblematic stores, perhaps in an attempt to strengthen the bases and give an essential image these days. These are times when we can really start to think about what lies ahead.
Now is the time to restructure this system which can bring more than one joy to the business. In the form of a new structure that will focus on the promotion of this brand which, here in Spain, has another name and runs no risk. These supermarkets are in a similar situation to the others, without anything affecting them.
We live in a time where we will have to be aware of everything that is going to happen in these days that we have before us and for which we must be prepared.
