When Abenex acquires its stake, Grand Frais consists of a partnership composed of four different partners operating in each store: Prosol (mainly fruits and vegetables), the grocery, the butchery and the dairy partner. Denis Dumont, who launched the concept, is the founder of Prosol which represents by far the largest partner as well as the main entry point for customers. Prosol also developed a seafood high growth potential activity. Prosol benefits from a strong purchase department and a solid network management team. Prosol acquired Grand Frais’ dairy business in December 2013.
