French retail giant Casino is about to launch what's being called a "major assault" on the UK market.The chain will launch its online brand "Cdiscount" in the UK, apparently setting its sights on stealing market share from DSGi, Comet, Tesco and Amazon amongst others.
The retailer stocks PCs, consumer electronics, video games and toys as well as DVDs and music.
