In June 1991, there were 77 Euromarché hypermarkets, 47 DIY stores Bricorama, and 57 cafétérias Eris. Sandra Mackey, author of The Saudis: Inside the Desert Kingdom, said in 1987 that it was "the French equivalent of K-Mart".[1]

History

In April 1981, Euromarché opened its first store in Saudi Arabia in Riyadh, and is the last Euromarché that exists today.[1][2]

Until 2009 there was also a Euromarché store in Fort-de-France in Martinique when it changed to a Carrefour hypermarket.
