To consolidate this growth, Leclerc Voyages is expanding the scope of its network. 8 branches were opened in 2019 including 4 in the first semester and 4 in the second. The network currently has 200 branches.
However, specifies Bernard Boisson: “the volume of business in strong development was achieved on an almost constant perimeter; the volumes achieved by openings being of course modest the first year”
There too the figures will make people envious. The average business volume of an agency opened before 2018 is 3.4 million euros; the average volume of business volume per seller is € 822 thousand. Please note: Leclerc Voyages, with its headquarters, has 834 full-time employees.
At the end of 2019, 5 agencies exceeded 7 million in business volume, 13 the 6 million.
Building on these good results, the owners of Center E. Leclerc are keenly interested in travel. Result, in 2020 a dozen openings are planned, the first being located: in Roubaix (59) at the end of January, Brives-Charenzac / Le Puy (43) and Barbezieux St Hilaire (16) at the beginning of February.
“The internal rumor circulates among the store managers that the trip brings back. Ten years ago, the potential for 550 stores was estimated at 200 points of sale, today we think it is around 250, or a little more. We can go to department stores that have a little less turnover. “ explains Bernard Boisson.
