Hédiard is a French luxury food company. Founded in 1854, it has a main store in Paris and thirty stores around the world.
History
editThe business was founded in 1854 by Ferdinand Etienne Hédiard as a colonial goods store named Comptoir d'épices et des colonies.[1] It stayed in the family until 1987, when it was acquired by Guinness.[1]
Hédiard was bought by French businessman Jean-Louis Masurel in 1991, and then by Monegasque billionaire Michel Pastor in 1995.[1] It was subsequently acquired by Russian billionaire Sergey Pugachyov in 2007.[1] As of 2013, Hédiard had stores in 30 countries globally.[2]
The company filed for bankruptcy in 2013.[2] Hédiard was then acquired by Do & Co in June 2014.[3][4]
