What Jardi Sourcing Ltd does

TERACT (operating under the legal name Teract Société par Actions Simplifiée, headquartered at 83 avenue de la Grande Armée, 75116 Paris) is a French multi-banner retail network created in July 2022 through the merger of 2MX Organic and InVivo Retail, controlled by parent company InVivo Group. The company organizes operations around two strategic verticals: garden centre and pet retail (Jardiland with 50 years of heritage, Gamm vert with 1,100+ stores as France's N°1 proximity garden centre, Delbard, Jardineries du Terroir) and food retail (Boulangerie Louise with 130+ artisanal bakeries, Grand Marché La Marnière fresh produce markets, Frais d'ICI local produce). It also markets four exclusive product brands — ECLOZ, INVIVO Nous on sème, PURE FAMILY, LES SENS DU TERROIR — distributed exclusively through its store network. The network comprises nearly 1,600 retail outlets across France (90% of the French population within 20 minutes of a store) operated primarily through a franchise and affiliation model with independent operators.

The business model is fundamentally physical retail: revenue is generated from one-time retail sales of plants, gardening supplies, pet products, artisanal bread, and fresh produce, supplemented by transaction fees from franchise and affiliated operators. Distribution is largely through the franchise store network, with digital channels (gammvert.fr as the French garden market's traffic leader, plus brand-specific e-commerce sites) playing a supporting role. Internal technology infrastructure is standard enterprise SaaS — a CEGID TALENTSOFT recruitment platform and a Campus Nature & Talents Learning Management System within the corporate university — with no disclosed AI/ML capability, proprietary data platform, or consumer-facing application.

TERACT employs 5,000+ people (with the recruitment page citing 5,400+) and became a Société à Mission in December 2023, formalizing its ESG commitments. The company was admitted to Euronext indices in December 2022 but is currently undergoing a going-private transaction initiated by InVivo Group in January 2026, with AMF approval of the public buy-out offer in April 2026 and squeeze-out implementation in May 2026. In 2025, the company divested the Bio&Co banner to marcel&fils as part of a strategic refocus on its core garden centre and food retail activities.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Truffaut: French garden centre chain specializing in plants, pet supplies, and outdoor living. Truffaut is the most direct competitor to TERACT's Jardiland and Gamm vert banners, competing on similar product categories and franchise/affiliate operating models across France.
• Picard: French frozen and specialty food retailer with a national store network. Picard overlaps with TERACT's food retail segment (Grand Marché La Marnière, Frais d'ICI) on premium food retailing, though its category focus differs.
• La Mie Câline: French artisanal bakery chain operating through franchised stores. La Mie Câline directly competes with TERACT's Boulangerie Louise on artisanal bakery products, franchise model, and French regional footprint.
• Botanic: French garden centre and pet retail chain with stores across France. Botanic directly competes with TERACT's Gamm vert and Jardiland networks on plant assortment, gardening supplies, and pet categories.
• Mr. Bricolage: French home improvement and garden retail chain operating through affiliated independent stores. Mr. Bricolage overlaps with TERACT's garden centre banners in DIY and outdoor categories, with a comparable franchise/affiliation model.

Broad incumbents

• Carrefour: One of France's largest grocery and general merchandise retailers, with whom TERACT signed a 2023 exclusivity agreement for responsible distribution. Carrefour competes broadly with TERACT's food retail brands and is a key strategic counterparty in the French market.
• Leroy Merlin: France's largest home improvement and garden retailer (Adeo group). Leroy Merlin competes broadly with TERACT's garden centre brands across plants, outdoor living, and DIY, but as a much larger generalist incumbent rather than a specialist.
• Kingfisher: European home improvement group (Castorama, Brico Dépôt) with significant French garden exposure. Kingfisher is a broad incumbent operating across multiple retail banners with overlapping garden and outdoor categories versus TERACT's specialist networks.
• Auchan: Major French hypermarket and grocery retailer. Auchan overlaps with TERACT's food retail brands (Boulangerie Louise, Grand Marché La Marnière) in fresh food, bakery, and general grocery categories across French regional markets.

Others

• InVivo Group: French agricultural cooperative group and TERACT's parent/controlling shareholder. InVivo is the strategic and financial backer of TERACT, providing agricultural supply chain integration, capital, and corporate direction across TERACT's network.
