BUSINESS DESCRIPTION:

Retail Holding S.A. (“Retail Holding”), is a privately held company based in Morocco, and the majority owner and operator of Label’Vie, Morocco’s leading hyper and supermarket chain operating the Franchise Carrefour. Retail Holding is also the owner and operator of international franchises specialized in fast food, leisure and entertainment products, and casual wear, as well as a stakeholder in Compagnie de Distribution de Côte d’Ivoire (CDCI) – the second largest modern food retailer in Ivory Coast.

Label’Vie also owns Aradei, the group’s real estate platform designed to develop the company’s stores and associated retail outlets. Aradei listed on the Casablance Stock Exchange in December 2020. In addition, Retail Holding owns and operates a string of international franchises including Burger King, Virgin, and Kiabi, with stores in the key cities of Morocco. In 2014, Retail Holding expanded into West Africa by acquiring a sizeable minority stake in CDCI, the number two food distribution company in Ivory Coast. CDCI operates under four brands: CDCI Gros, CDCI Demi-gros, King Cash and the Leader Price franchise. CDCI has significantly expanded its network with a presence in Abidjan and further inland.
