An owner-managed company of the size of the Colruyt Group is a rare phenomenon in the world of large corporations. Which makes the development over time of what began as a small Belgian general store all the more remarkable. Colruyt currently has more than 470 branches and over 25,000 employees in three countries (Belgium, France and Luxembourg) and a variety of different sales strategies (organic produce and products for babies, small children and urban lifestyles). That makes the company one of the most important retail chains in Europe.
