Bicoop, the leading French organic retailer, has announced major expansion plans, bidding to increase its overall store count by 160 by 2029.
The investment comes on the back of growth in the first half of 2025 which saw the retailer increase sales to more than €1.8 billion (S2.1 billion). The expansion plans would take the Biocoop network to more than 900 outlets.
Launching the strategy, the company also announced plans to more than double the number of “competitively-priced” products it sells in an effort to lure more value-conscious shoppers. Other objectives include tripling or quadrupling sales through its e-commerce channel, branching out into foodservice, sourcing more local and fairtrade products and cutting carbon emissions.
Commenting on the move, Biocoop managing director Franck Poncet said “Organic is not in crisis – the market has increased from 5 to 12 million euros in ten years and growth is back”.
“Biocoop is the best example of this, with an increase in revenue of 8.5% in 2024 and 7.5% in the first half of 2025”, he added.
