On June 11, 2020, Carrefour, operated by Majid Al Futtaim in Kenya, marked a significant milestone with the opening of its eighth store in Nairobi.
Located at the Mega Shopping Mall along Uhuru Highway, the new store will not only provide a wide range of products but also create employment opportunities for the local community.
According to Franck Moreau, Country Manager of Carrefour Kenya at Majid Al Futtaim Retail, the new store will enable customers to access home delivery services, making it convenient to shop online during these challenging times.
"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.
The new store boasts a sales area of more than 7,000 square meters, a 1.8-meter aisle width, and 36 checkout counters, among other features that will enhance the customer experience.
Carrefour has made a commitment to sourcing more than 99 percent of its stock locally, ensuring that the revenue contributes to the local community's supply chain.
With the opening of this new store, Majid Al Futtaim has recruited 250 Kenyan employees and over 200 part-time workers, fostering local employment across Kenya.
