“Recently, rumors are extending about the sale of our assets in Russia and abandoning the Russian market. We have repeatedly denied this, ”said Auchan (appointment for Tass).
The company said that this time they also do not comment on rumors and continue working in the Russian market. AFP indicated that Auchan in Russia has 230 stores, in which about 30 thousand employees work.
Previously, on January 27, the French newspaper La Lettre wrote that Auchan received a proposal to buy from Gazprombank, but finally the agreement fell. The publication did not appoint its amount.
In October, the sources of the Lettre and Le Figaro reported that Auchan decided to leave Russia due to “a deterioration in the conditions to do business in the local market.” Kommersant interlocutors later clarified that among the company’s Russian business applicants were slow, magnit and x5 Group (it has the “Perekrestak”, “Pyaterochka” and others networks).
The company itself said that no rumors were commented.
