Services

Many services are available to Les Mousquetaires operators, such as:
site searching and market surveys to find the best locations
the design and construction of stores, to keep investment costs down and preserve the same visual identity
the purchase of equipment and consumables, to reduce operating costs
the setting up of finance packages, to obtain the best financial terms from credit institutions
advertising, so that the message sent out is consistent with the retailing operation, at the lowest cost
insurance

Last but not least, there are computer services, provided by STIME

Having an efficient computer system ensures information flows are correctly handled (daily orders, delivery documents, invoices) but also guarantees the independence of Les Mousquetaires. Such a system is also an invaluable aid in cost and stock control, reducing the time between the dispatch of a product from its production site and its arrival in the consumer's shopping basket. Today, Les Mousquetaires' IT department employs 600 full-time engineers.
