Hipermercado Géant is Uruguay's largest supermarket and is owned by Grupo Disco Casino (composed 50% by Grupo Casino and 50% by Supermercados Disco del Uruguay) and is the only supermarket under the Géant brand in Uruguay.
It is located just outside the capital city Montevideo on the east, and over one of the most important access streets to Montevideo, Giannattasio Avenue, which connects Montevideo with the so call Ciudad de la Costa, the fastest growing area in Uruguay in the recent years. Although the surrounding is not very highly populated, it attracts buyers from both the east part of Montevideo and the Ciudad de la Costa due to being relatively close to both areas, being easily accessible by car and its low prices.
