E. Leclerc is a French hypermarket chain whose headquarter is based in Ivry-sur-Seine. The society was created in 1948 by Édouard Leclerc, a French entrepreneur who had great ambitions in the business world. After many years of success, E. Leclerc has nowadays more than 500 locations in France and more than 100 outside of the country.

Success

Being at the top of the ranking of food retailers, the company registered a revenue of nearly 96 million euros in the fiscal year 2024. One proof of its great success is the upgrowing turnover the company has had over the years. In 2010, the company started with a revenue of 40 million euros, less than half of its revenue 12 years later.

Drive-thru

In a world full of advanced technology, digitalization, and comfort, supermarkets could not lag behind. That is why, in the 2010s, businesses provided a new service: the drive-thru, which allows customers to buy products without leaving their cars. The format was pioneered in the United States, and in this case, the French company copied the same system. The annual revenue of drive-in pickup services in France amounted to over 11 billion euros as of 2021.
