Monoprix opens 1st international supermarket chain in Libya
Monoprix was brought to Libya by the HBG group under the Libyan entrepreneur Husny Bey through a franchising with the Tunisian Société Nouvelle Maison de la Ville de Tunis (SNMVT), which uses the Monoprix name.
The first supermarket was opened in the capital in March on a surface area of some 5,000 square metres and another 52 will be opened over the coming months in other areas of the capital and the rest of the country.
The news shows the growing interest that large companies have in Libya after the 2011 uprising that put an end to the Gaddafi regime. ''The HGB group would also be interested in bringing an Italian large-scale distribution company to the Libyan market,'' Husny Bey told ANSAmed.
