The Hypercacher branch at Porte de Vincennes

Hypercacher (pronounced [i.pɛʁ.ka.ʃɛʁ]; also Hyper Cacher oder HyperCacher; translated as "Super 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] The first branch was opened in March 1992 in Montreuil, and branches have been opened regularly from that date until 2013.[4] The company's president is Michel Emsalem.[4]

In 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 killed by Coulibaly, who then was killed by police.[6]
