Hypercacher (pronounced [ipɛʁkaʃɛʁ]; also Hyper Cacher oder HyperCacher; translated as "Hyper Kosher")[1] is a chain of kosher supermarkets in Frankreich and Italien.

There are branches in and around Paris (Porte de Vincennes, rue de Manin, rue de l'Ourcq, La Villette, rue Bayen, rue Jean-de-la-La-Fontaine, Montreuil, Créteil, Sarcelles, Saint Gratien), as well as in Nice and Rome.[2][3]

History

[edit]

The first branch was opened in March 1992 in Montreuil, and branches have been opened from that date until 2013.[4] The company's president is Michel Emsalem.[4]

On 9 January 2015, Islamist terrorist Amedy Coulibaly held several hostages at gunpoint at the Porte de Vincennes branch in the eastern suburbs of Paris.[1][5] Four hostages were murdered by Coulibaly, who was then killed by police.[6]

Some of those saved were saved by Lassana Bathily, a Muslim of Malian descent, who hid them in the basement of the shop.[7]
