INFO MIDI LIBRE. Géant Casino d’Odysseum in Montpellier, it’s over: here is the date of the definitive closure of the store

L’hypermarché Géant Casino Odysseum avait ouvert ses 12 000 mètres carrés de vente en septembre 2009. Midi Libre – JEAN-MICHEL MART

Exactly fifteen years after its opening, in September 2009, the Odysseum hypermarket is closing. What will happen to employees? ? And customers? ?

There will therefore be no buyer. It's official, the Odysseum Géant Casino hypermarket will close its doors on Monday, September 30. The national management has confirmed this to us. And customers with loyalty cards, as well as employees, have been informed. Customers, by email, this Wednesday, September 11, with an unequivocal subject: “Important Information – Closing of your MONTPELLIER ODYSSEUM store”. They are offered to use the balance of their kitty on site between now and the fateful date. Except that the shelves are seriously lacking in products. Clearance sales at knockdown prices remain attractive. Customers can also use their kitty in “our local stores (Casino shop, Le Petit Casino, SPAR and Vival)”, writes the group.

Job protection plan and exemption from paid activity

As for the hundred or so employees, the PSE, job rescue plan, set up in April, is continuing. “As the Group's management has committed to this, they will all benefit from individualized support, the national management also explains to us. As soon as the store closes, employees will be placed on exemption from paid activity once the store has been emptied. Support measures, particularly in terms of redeployment and training" are also mentioned.

Employees still present for several weeks

Employees will therefore remain on site until the hypermarket is empty, which will be several more weeks. Probably until November.
