Founded in Burgundy, Schiever’s activities now cover a wide range of its customers’ food and non-food needs.
We welcome customers into our stores every day
WE ARE RETAILERS
MASS RETAIL
We offer a large range of mass-market products through several brands :
- U commerçants autrement
(Hyper U, Super U, U-Express, Utile) - bi1 and Maximarché
- Proximarché
Our various formats (hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores) enable us to meet the specific needs of each territory while maintaining close and trusted relationships with our customers.
SPECIALIST RETAIL
Our specialist brands address specific needs in the following sectors:
- Fashion and apparel: Kiabi and Blackstore
- DIY, gardening, and home decor: Weldom, Bricoman, Schiever Déco, and Hôli
- Sports equipment: Intersport and Intersport Outlet
- Services and repairs: L’atelier
THE COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT
In 2024, we’ve joined two cooperatives: U (mass retail) and Intersport (specialist retail).
These memberships enable us to:
- Work alongside businesses sharing our values of sustainability and partnership.
- Benefit from the commercial appeal of these national brands.
- Create synergies and share processes with a community of independent retailers.
This virtuous model is fully aligned with our vision of tomorrow’s retail.
WE ARE INDEPENDENT
A human-sized family Group
Schiever is a family-owned distributor that passes down from generation to generation.
The stability of its shareholders, its local presence and unique vision enable the Group to continue its development independently.
Real Estate Management
Our in-house real estate team manages all our property goods, thus fully contributing to our independence. We aim to design and maintain stores that are especially tailored to our customers’ needs and habits.
Our experts work to preserve our real estate assets, to modernize our stores and to improve the environmental efficiency of our buildings.
This in-house expertise is a key contributor to the Group’s independence.
WE ARE WHOLESALERS
From Wholesaler to Local Retail
Schiever began as a wholesaler in 1871, supplying wine and spirits to shops in the Morvan region. That wholesale DNA lives on: today, we supply food products to nearly 250 independent convenience stores.
Half of these deliveries are made to our own brand, Proximarché.
We build long-term relationships with these retailers and actively support the opening of new stores.
Logistics Experts
In France, we operate an integrated truck fleet serving both our own warehouses and those of the Coopérative U.
In Poland, our hypermarkets (bi1 and Auchan) are supplied by Auchan Retail.
In Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, we have developed our own logistics platforms, allowing us to supply our local stores and export our brands from Uzbekistan to Tajikistan.
WE ARE MULTILINGUAL
International presence
Schiever began its international journey in 2001, with the opening of its first Auchan hypermarket in Poland, then expanded to Tajikistan (2016) and Uzbekistan (2021).
Thanks to its expertise, Schiever now relies on local partners to modernize retail distribution in these Central Asian territories and ensure food security for local markets.
