In the early | In the early 1900s, Bellegarde continued to expand its grocery chain by opening new locations throughout eastern Cartadania. The company's growth was impressive, and by the 1920s, it had become one of the largest grocery store chains in the region, with locations in Milan, Aleira, Acara, Triessa, and Cambria. Following the resolution of the Second Great War, the company expanded into São Andreas. | ||
Starting in 1961, Bellegarde began its westward expansion, crossing the Marée Channel into São Ricardo, the first expansion into Lusia. The company continued to expand, and in the early 2000s, it reached Alexandria, becoming the first non-supercenter to have a presence in Urlazio and Lusia. In 1993, Verona opened its first eleven Bellegarde stores, with the number of locations continuing to grow into the new millennium, reaching nearly eighty. | |||
In 2004, Bellegarde crossed the border into Caphiria, opening its first stores in the country under the Bellegarde Est brand in the provinces of Caenna and Ovalutia. Bellegarde Est, much like its parent company, places an emphasis on locally-sourced goods. In 2017, Bellegarde introduced its specialty brand, Bourseiller, a gourmet grocery store chain based in Esserie. Most Bourseiller locations have a full-service kitchen, offer cooking and wine classes in their culinary school, and offer catering services. Bourseiller deliberately limits floor space allocated to packaged products, allowing more space for fresh produce, meat and seafood, bulk products, and chef-prepared items. | |||
Bellegarde Est has developed a unique quality within the chain, sourcing dishes from across the imperium to introduce new foods to locals in Urlazio. Additionally, Bellegarde has experimented with new concepts in its stores, such as the self-checkout model used by the Esquerda marque, which has become a popular convenience for shoppers. Bellegarde continues to expand and innovate, seeking to meet the evolving needs of its customers. | |||
