Nomad

NoMAD (Le Nouveau Modèle Africain de Distribution), imports goods and offers a wholesale self-service to professionals in Benin. Nomad is now the main provider for traditional groceries and local minimarkets. In 2008, Nomad signed a master-franchise agreement with the French distribution group Casino. Since then, it undertakes the brand implementation in local stores in Benin. Nomad found its place in a market shared between family monopoles destined to the upper-class and the expatriates on one hand and informal corner shops on the other.
