Intermarché offers a range of its own brands :
TheÉcomarché chain of supermarkets was created in 1969 and developed in 1986. They were similar to Intermarché, but mostly on a smaller scale than most supermarkets in France with a sales area between 400 and 1800 m2. The target of the Écomarché chain was to compensate for the lack of local shops and to focus upon customer care, attention to the product, quality, choice and the environment.
From 2009, the Écomarché chain became two brands of the Intermarché, eitherIntermarché Contact if smaller than 1,500 square meters orIntermarché Super if bigger. The other Écomarché stores in urban areas becameIntermarché Express orIntermarché Super (if larger than 1,500 sq. meters).
Écomarché stores could be found in Belgium, Portugal and France, which all became Intermarché Contact or Express.
