Franprix completes its reorganisation with the Zouari family and takes 100% control of Pro Distribution
Announced on 8 June 2026, the transaction reorganises the ownership of two entities linked to the Franprix network. It was completed, according to a press release published on 2 November 2026, and forms part of a partnership that both parties describe as historic, more than 25 years old.
The Zouari family holds 60% of Franprix's development company
The company dedicated to developing the Franprix network is now organised around a equity partnership. The Zouari family holds 60%, while Franprix holds the remaining 40%.
This component is the first pillar of the transaction. The shareholding structure thus brings together the banner of the Plesio group and the Zouari family within a single entity responsible for developing the network.
