Grocery retail
U, retailers with a difference
Today, GKS develops and operates a network of six stores under the Coopérative U banner:
Store operated directly:
• HYPER U La Chatoire
Stores developed in partnership with local partners:
• SUPER U Éperon
• U Express Saint-Benoît
• U Express Sainte-Rose
• U Express Beauséjour
• U Express Plaine-des-Palmistes
Through these stores, GKS affirms its commitment to responsible, sustainable grocery retail rooted in its region, by actively supporting local production in its U stores.
A cooperative model serving local communities
GKS’s grocery retail business is built around the Coopérative U brand, available in three complementary formats: Hyper U, Super U and U Express.
This model combines local presence, commercial performance and social commitment, while supporting local businesses.
A committed, people-focused brand
Built on a unique cooperative model, Coopérative U brings together independent retailers who share strong values: proximity, commitment and responsibility.
For more than 50 years, the brand has been committed to offering the best value for money, favouring products that respect producers, the environment and consumers.
Fairer, more sustainable retail
Choosing U means embracing a vision of retail that is fairer, more local and more sustainable. Every purchase helps support:
→ Réunion, French and local producers, through fair partnerships and traceable supply chains.
→ Practical environmental initiatives, including reducing packaging and waste.
→ A responsible retail model, putting people and trust at the heart of everything we do.
Together for a responsible future
Being U means sharing much more than a shopping experience: it means helping build a collective, sustainable and caring future, alongside local players committed to their region.
