Founded in 2003, the group is pursuing an upward trajectory with the ambition of reaching 5,000 direct employees. The President and CEO, Philippe Tagne Noubissi, reaffirms his commitment to the import-substitution policy. By opening its shelves to local products, the brand becomes an essential vector for promoting the national label. This orientation responds to the imperative of consuming domestic production, transforming a sovereign principle into a profitable economic model. The efficiency of this short supply chain becomes the guarantee of future growth for local SMEs.

The Damas site illustrates a profound mutation of the retail trade profession. The establishment is no longer limited to the simple sale of goods; it is now conceived as an integrated service hub. This upgrade testifies to the maturity of an operator who has successfully transitioned from neighborhood commerce to the management of multidisciplinary structures. The mastery of customer flows by these professional actors promotes better accessibility to quality infrastructure, embodying a form of social democratization of modern commerce.

In an economic context marked by pressure on purchasing power, this expansion also responds to government guidelines for fighting against the high cost of living. By multiplying points of sale in peripheral areas, the group contributes to stabilizing the offer and stimulating the professional integration of young people. Each commercial brick laid in Damas strengthens the resilience of the Cameroonian tertiary sector. Each investment made in these proximity structures consolidates the solidity of the national distribution system towards increased consumption autonomy.
