Another bad news for the French who used to go to Leclerc to save money… The boss of the supermarket explained that there is no wouldn’t have a price drop !
Leclerc to save money
In this period of inflation, Leclerc recorded a goodsuddenly more checkouts. And for good reason ! Customers realized that the products were cheaper there. Michel-Edouard Leclerc, boss of the supermarket, has decided not to raise prices for the vast majority of his products.
Leclerc therefore continues to offer low prices, so that their customers can save money. There are also benefits! Like the 20% reduction in tickets on a selection of products. Moreover ! There are also anti-inflation baskets which are very loaded. The boss of Leclerc has decided to take on his margins. This is what he confided to the LDD:
“Inflation will continue for at least the first six months of the year and is expected to peak between April and June. The increase in food prices in distribution reached an average of 12% in 2022 in hypermarkets. The cheapest brands, E.Leclerc, Hyper U and Lidl, have not finished passing on all this increase to customers. »
“At E.Leclerc, we continue to take our margins to avoid falling sales. Last year, while the institutions, including the IMF, lowered their inflation forecasts, I was considered “the restless market” because I announced higher rates. »
Yes, but here it is, on May 10, the president of Leclerc supermarkets went to BFMTV to deliver bad news. We tell you more below!
Very bad news for customers
Michel-Edouard Leclerc explained to Apolline de Malherbe that Leclerc’s prices will no longer be the same as before. Indeed, he declares aloud: we will never go back to the prices before ».
Before continuing without any filter: “ To get lower prices… We will have to fight “. Moreover ! The boss of Leclerc also added that there would be a meeting to renegotiate lower prices. This will take place this Thursday at the Ministry of the Economy.
According to our colleagues from Ferrocee, “the President of the strategic committee of the E. Leclerc centers is therefore calling for a legal framework for this negotiation. ” But that’s not all ! Because the boss of Leclerc also explains that he has another objective! It is worth break the inflation rate in the second half. That has the merit of being clear !
He therefore plans to tour Europe to return to see the manufacturers. The goal is to move towards products that cost much less. But beware ! For that, the State must give its authorization. This step is therefore pending. Michel-Édouard Leclerc also wants a legal framework. In order to renegotiate lower prices with manufacturers.
And what regarding the price of fuel, which has fallen… but continues to be unstable? For the moment, the Minister of Transition is doing everything so that distributors can lower the price as soon as possible.
She even launched a request on Tuesday, May 9. But for the boss of supermarkets, it should rather address the suppliers instead of forcing distributors.
