La Grande Épicerie de Paris

What La Grande Épicerie de Paris does

La Grande Épicerie de Paris is a premium Parisian fine food and wine retailer operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Le Bon Marché, itself part of the LVMH group's Selective Retailing division. The company runs two flagship physical stores in Paris's 7th and 16th arrondissements (Rue de Sèvres and Rue de Passy), a co-located presence inside the Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche department store, and a full e-commerce platform at lagrandeepicerie.com offering delivery across 27 European countries. Its catalog spans more than 4,000 references across savory groceries (épicerie salée), sweet groceries (épicerie sucrée), a wine and spirits cellar (La Cave), and international specialty foods (épicerie du monde), complemented by on-site dining (Le Petit Bistrot, Crêperie Brutus, Traiteur catering).

The company generates revenue primarily through direct retail of multi-brand gourmet products and its own private-label collection, the La Grande Épicerie de Paris Collection launched in January 2016, which has grown to over 500 references sourced from French family producers, artisans, and small specialty houses. A dedicated corporate gifting vertical (Cadeaux d'entreprise), gift cards, customizable coffrets, and a personalization service diversify the revenue mix into B2B and seasonal gifting demand. Customers include affluent fine food enthusiasts, gourmet gift buyers (both individual and corporate), and in-store dining guests; the shared Carte 24 Sèvres loyalty program ties repeat purchasing into the broader Le Bon Marché ecosystem. Distribution is hybrid — premium physical retail in Paris plus nationwide French and European e-commerce — with tiered delivery pricing (free above €120 in France) and tier-based loyalty benefits. No AI/ML capabilities, funding rounds, or standalone revenue disclosures are present in the source data; the business operates entirely within LVMH's conglomerate reporting structure.
