In 2016 we improved our customers’ shopping experience, enabling them to buy the products of their choice in an easier and more comfortable way. We strengthened the tools that allow us to better understand their shopping habits and buying needs; we enhanced our value offering in key areas; we broadened our availability of Our Brands; and we extended our financial services portfolio, thus giving them the freedom to shop in our stores -either physical or digital- so the experience can be quicker, simpler and safer.
