In June 2021, the turnover in large-scale food retailing decreased (−2.0%), following a growth in May (+1.5%). The turnover dropped sharply in food products (−5.6% after −0.4%), possibly in connection with the reopening of bars and restaurants, and the easing of remote working orders. The turnover stabilized in non-food products, following a slight increase in May (+0.5%). Concerning the sales of automotive fuel, the turnover continued to grow strongly in June after the rebound of May (+13.6% after +19.6% in May). It thus returned for the first time to its pre-pandemic level.

The turnover dwindled in both supermarkets (−2.1% after +2.0%) and hypermarkets (−0.9% after +0.8%).
