Grand Frais to acquire 32 Gifi stores in 2026, including a potential location in Alpes-Maritimes

Grand Frais will acquire 32 Gifi stores in 2026, with one location in the Alpes-Maritimes region potentially affected. This acquisition is part of Grand Frais's expansion strategy, converting struggling Gifi discount stores into fresh produce markets. The deal for 25 to 30 stores was announced in October 2025. A specialized retail magazine identified the Grasse store as a potential candidate, though local management has not confirmed the change.
