DZ – Uno Supermarché

Retail distribution is not really developed in Algeria. Carrefour is here more than 2 years ago, but it is a total failure as local importers and brand distibutors describe it. The rumor in town is saying that Carrefour International have left their local partner to go solo on their own, some other does not support this rumor. While a new Carrefour is being built, we have to wait and see.

Another big player is in town, Metro the German giant is already here and building their first store in Algiers.

What was surprising during my visit is a new local player that is grabbing market share quickly on an empty ground, Uno Supermarché, already 4 stores up and running with a plan for expansion. if they keep opening stores like the one I have visisted, they will be a success story in Algeria.
