Your trusted partner in Réunion. We operate in grocery retail, hospitality, restaurants, bakery and pastry, and retail. We are proud to serve our island with a wide range of services and products.
With the commitment of our teams and partners, we work passionately every day to improve our customers’ daily lives.
Since our beginnings as a neighbourhood grocer, we have stayed true to our commitment: offering diverse, quality and affordable products to meet every everyday need.
Thanks to our teams and partners, our businesses now cover many aspects of daily life on the island.
The Kin Siong family
started out in food retail by opening a grocery shop in Mont-Vert-Les-Hauts. This first step marked the beginning of a family story dedicated to serving our community.
Opening of our second store and future head office
In 1974, we opened our second food store, Super-King, located in Les Casernes, Saint-Pierre. It later became our head office, where it still stands today, a symbol of our lasting roots in the region.
We enter the grocery retail sector
and expand by opening our first supermarket, HYPERCRACK, in Saint-Pierre. This milestone marked a major turning point in our development, strengthening our presence and our commitment to the local community.
We continue to grow in grocery retail
In 1995 with the opening of Géant Casino La Chatoire, in Le Tampon. A leading retail destination in the south of the island for more than two decades, the store has evolved alongside the needs of its customers and the region.
In 2019, a new chapter began with its conversion to HYPER U La Chatoire. This change of banner reflects our wish to offer a renewed shopping experience that is closer to customers, more modern and always focused on their satisfaction.
Construction of the Grand Sud shopping centre:
In 2005, we built the Grand Sud shopping centre in the ZAC Canabady, Saint-Pierre. This project marked an important step in our expansion, broadening our presence in the retail sector and strengthening our commitment to local economic development.
Diversification through a partnership in hospitality:
In 2015, we took a new strategic turn with a partnership in the hotel business and the opening of the Dina Morgabine hotel in La Saline-Les-Bains. This move into tourism reflects our drive to innovate and to help showcase the island.
We continue to diversify
We continue expanding our grocery retail business with the opening of SUPER U Éperon in Saint-Gilles-les-Hauts.
At the same time, we extend the group into retail and fashion, opening the first MINISO store in France. This diversification reflects our commitment to offering an ever wider range of products and services to our customers.
Takeover of the CASTA bakery-patisseries in partnership
A network now comprising 9 outlets located from Sainte-Marie to Saint-Pierre. This step reflects the determination of GKS and its partner to promote local expertise and secure the future of a brand renowned for the quality of its artisan products.
Further diversification with new openings
In 2021, several more MINISO stores open in the north, east and south of the island. We also launch a new home décor brand, UTOPIA, broadening our offer to meet our customers’ varied needs.
Our restaurant division grows through partnerships, with:
— The opening of the healthy, indulgent restaurant LE PARADIS DU FRUIT on the Grand Sud cinema esplanade in Pierrefonds.
— The opening of the French-style hot dog counter MONSIEUR ALBERT at the Bank roundabout in Saint-Pierre.
— The opening of BERLINER DAS ORIGINAL, serving authentic Berlin-style kebabs, at HYPER U La Chatoire in Le Tampon
Partnership in grocery retail
Opening of U express Saint-Benoît, following the openings of U express Beauséjour in Sainte-Marie, Plaine-des-Palmistes in 2020, Sainte-Rose in 2023 and Saint-Benoît in 2025.
Alongside our employees and partners, we share the pride and ambition of offering the very best to our island. By diversifying our businesses, we aim to give the people of Réunion the freedom to choose, by offering a varied range of products and services tailored to their needs.
