Euromarché (Euromarket) was a French hypermarket chain. The first store opened in 1968 in Saint-Michel-sur-Orge. In June 1991, the group was rebought by its rival, Carrefour, for 5,2 billion francs.
In June 1991, there were 77 Euromarché hypermarkets, 47 DIY stores Bricorama, and 57 cafétérias Eris. Sandra Mackey, author of The Saudis: Inside the Desert Kingdom, said in 1987 that it was "the French equivalent of K-Mart".
History
In April 1981, Euromarché opened its first store in Saudi-Arabia in Riyadh, and is the last Euromarché that exists today.
Until 2009 there was also an Euromarché store in Fort-de-France in Martinique when it changed to a Carrefour hypermarket.
