Mediascore Food Shopping Street

Mediascore Food, trading under the name Shopping Street, is a French company specialising in the import and distribution of food products, primarily from British and American brands. Established in 1987 by Claude Lellouche, the company is headquartered at 22 Rue Magellan in Sucy-en-Brie, in the Val-de-Marne department near Paris, and is registered as a wholesaler of food products (SIREN 340289578). It positions itself around bringing international culinary trends to the French market.

The company operates as an importer, wholesaler and distributor, working from distribution-centre and warehouse facilities rather than running its own retail outlets. Its portfolio covers a broad range of grocery categories:

• Savoury grocery — snacks, crisps, ready meals, oils, condiments and sauces
• Sweet grocery — sugar, desserts, biscuits and confectionery
• Drinks — carbonated soft drinks and juices
• Frozen food — ice cream, seafood and meat products
• Dairy — cheeses, milk, cream and yoghurts

The brand portfolio features well-known Anglo-American names such as Snapple, Tilda, Dr Pepper, ProperCorn, Heinz and Kettle Chips, with a growing emphasis on speciality segments including organic (bio), gluten-free, lactose-free and additive-free products — niches where imported UK and US ranges complement mainstream French assortments.

Mediascore Food serves a diverse professional clientele of retailers, wholesalers, restaurants, hotels and bars. Its notable customers include major French retail chains and wholesale groups such as Auchan, Carrefour, Intermarché, Franprix, Naturalia, Metro, Groupe Pomona, Showroomprive.com and Jardiland, giving supplier brands access to both large-format retail and out-of-home channels in France. The company employs roughly 30 people (its salaried workforce was in the 10-19 band in the 2023 French registry data) and remains an independent, founder-led business; its recent accounts are filed confidentially, with internal data indicating a modest turnover of under €1 million in 2023, while historic filings showed around €1.5 million in 2004. Despite its small size, its long track record since 1987 and established listings with leading French retailers make it a specialist gateway for English-language-market food brands entering France.
