Auchan-owned Chronodrive remained lossmaking in 2025 despite the continued growth of French grocery Drive. The pioneer of the format recorded a EUR6 million net loss, following losses of EUR2 million in 2024 and EUR8 million in 2023. Chronodrive generated around EUR720 million of sales in 2025, up 3%, but its financial performance highlights the continuing profitability challenge facing its warehouse-based Drive model.
