- The Convenience format generated same-store growth of +0.7% versus a high-performing Q3 2018 (+3.2%). The banner continued to improve the product mix, with an increase in the private-label share in integrated stores of +2.6pts, led by a greater density of private-label offering and an +11.2% rise in net sales of organic products. The convenience network has joined the other networks in rolling out autonomous stores, with 11 openings during the quarter and plans to accelerate this trend by the end of the year.
