During the 2011 Heritage Days, more than 5,000 people visited the headquarters of the Casino Group to see a new exhibition, created especially to mark the occasion, entitled “Casino, 110 years of innovation – the story of a brand”.
On 17 and 18 September 2011, the Casino Group opened up its headquarters to the public. The programme of the exhibition included a firmly contemporary presentation of the first retail brands created by Casino in 1901, with examples of packaging, commercials, posters and original catalogues – all of them symbolic of this quest for innovation that is now part and parcel of our economic heritage.
