(Reuters) - Supermarket chain Casino said on Wednesday that its first quarter sales remained negative but showed slight improvement after its convenience brands reported virtually stable net sales.

On a same-store basis and excluding acquisitions, currency effects and revenue on fuel, sales fell by 3.8% compared with a 4.6% decline in the fourth quarter of 2023.
