Monoprix, the French supermarket chain owned by Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA (CO), may allow shoppers to pay for their groceries and other goods using Bitcoins.
“It is a project,” Marie-Camille Dehaut, a spokeswoman for Monoprix, said today by phone when asked whether the company was planning to introduce the virtual currency. She declined to comment further.
Monoprix may accept Bitcoin payments on its e-commerce website this year, e-commerce director Patrick Oualid said in an interview with JDN published yesterday. The retailer is also working on allowing its customers to pay using their mobile phones in stores, Oualid said, according to JDN.
A spokeswoman for Casino said Oualid’s comments related to Monoprix only.

It was a joint subsidiary of the Casino Group and Groupe Galeries Lafayette, with both partners holding 50% of the company each since 2000, until June 2012 when Casino acquired Galeries Lafayette's stake.[2] The Monoprix group had more than 300 stores and employed around 20,000 people in France at the end of 2008.[3] It is considered an up-scale chain and its business model was the inspiration for Waitrose in the early 2000s[citation needed]. Monoprix is present in approximately 85% of all French cities with a population of more than 50,000 residents.[3] In 2005, Monoprix had €3.3 Billion in revenue.[3]
The closest comparison to Monoprix for American and British customers might be the old-style Woolco /Woolworths stores in both countries, which combined Woolworth's non-food range with a supermarket offering, or the Fred Meyer chain in the United States' Pacific Northwest.
