The Founder of E.LECLERC, Mr. Edouard Leclerc wanted Affordability, he wanted everyone to be able to buy what they needed. And so in 1949, he introduced a Groundbreaking Concept: the Idea was to sell at Wholesale Prices, Directly to Individuals.

Along with him were Other Merchants ready to Stand Up for what they believed in, in the Face of Lobbies and Public Authorities, with a Single Goal in Mind: to offer a Variety of Quality Products and Services at the Best Possible Price.

The Battle started with Consumer Products and Over Time spread to New Services and Offerings to satisfy Emerging Needs.

* the Excuse of the War in Ukraine to change the Narrative over where Inflation comes from
* State Intervention to control the Increase in Energy Prices
