Details
GB is a Belgian brand of supermarket chains, which originated from the former department store group Grand Bazar. Since 2000, GB has been owned by the French chain Carrefour and all stores have been converted to that name. The first GB supermarket was opened in 1958. Hypermarkets also appeared from the 1960s; in 1985 these were given the name Maxi GB. Later GB merged with "Innovation" and "Au Bon Marché", creating the GIB Group. This group (which also owns fast food chain Quick, DIY store Brico, Auto 5 and department store Inno) fell apart in the late 1990s.

GB is een Belgisch merk van supermarktketens, voortgekomen uit het voormalige warenhuisconcern Grand Bazar. Sinds 2000 is GB eigendom van de Franse keten Carrefour en werden alle winkels tot die naam omgevormd.
De eerste GB-supermarkt werd geopend in 1958. Vanaf de jaren zestig verschenen ook hypermarkten; in 1985 kregen deze de naam Maxi GB. Later smolt GB samen met "Innovation" en "Au Bon Marché", waardoor de GIB Group ontstond. Deze groep (die ook fastfoodketen Quick, doe-het-zelfzaak Brico, Auto 5 en warenhuis Inno bezit) viel eind jaren negentig uit elkaar.
