Located at the Mega Shopping Mall along Uhuru Highway, the new store will create 250 Kenyan employees and over 200 part-time workers, contributing to local employment and economic growth.
According to the company, more than 99 percent of the stock in the new store will be sourced locally, ensuring that revenue contributes to the local community's supply chain.
The store boasts an impressive range of products, including over 39,000 food and non-food items, as well as unique specialty offerings such as jewelry, home decor, a library, bistro area, and a milk ATM.
Carrefour customers can also expect to find conventional fresh produce, groceries, fresh bakery, and roastery sections.
Country Manager of Carrefour Kenya at Majid Al Futtaim Retail, Franck Moreau, emphasized the importance of home delivery services, making it convenient for customers to shop online during these circumstances.
“The opening of our new Carrefour store in Nairobi underscores our commitment to offering great customer experiences through high-quality retail outlets where customers can access quality products at the best prices,” he said.
