Cette contre-offensive a ralenti la progression de ce type de magasins mais ne pouvait l’arrêter, D'AUTANT MOINS D'AILLEURS qu’ils représentent aussi une solution de proximité qui permet de gagner du temps et de réduire les frais de déplacement.
My try, with a hole in the middle:
This counteroffensive slowed the progression of these stores but could not stop it, ??? they represented a local solution which saved time and reduced travel costs.

not least because
agree with the previous reply of 'even less so' as a direct translation but I believe 'not least because' is a more commonly used phrase.
