French media report a larger-than-expected number of retailers are interested to acquire (at least some of) Colruyt's 101 supermarkets in France. Carrefour, Coopérative U, E.Leclerc and Intermarché are all among the possible candidates.
Carrefour is a France-based company operating a worldwide (except in the U.S.) network of hypermarkets and discount stores that engages in selling food and non-food products.
