French mass-market group Casino has extended its strategic partnership with multinational energy company TotalEnergies.
The renewed agreement, effective from 1 October 2024, will last for five years.
Casino will continue to supply food products and other essential items to more than 1,000 service stations belonging to TotalEnergies across France, including 140 located on motorways.
The retailer will support the TotalEnergies service stations as a direct supplier of food products, as a provider of Casino-branded goods, and through the establishment of "Casino Shop" or "Shop by Casino" corners.
Casino will also serve as a main supplier to 860 TotalEnergies service stations that are operated under franchise or business lease agreements.
Casino Group CEO Philippe Palazzi said: “The renewal of this partnership with TotalEnergies and its subsidiary Argedis is a perfect reflection of Casino Group’s priorities: providing our partners unbeatable service by capitalising on our logistical agility and the quality of our product offering.
“This renewed trust of our partner will enable us to consolidate our position as a benchmark player in this market, where we are present in over 1,300 service stations throughout France.”
In July 2024, Casino also renewed its partnership with Sherpa, a co-operative of independent local supermarkets.
The agreement, which will take effect on the same date as the TotalEnergies partnership, continues a relationship that began in 2009, ensuring Casino's ongoing supply to the 119 food stores within the Sherpa network.
