On August 25, 2021, Carrefour Supermarket, a French brand with a local franchise held by Dubai-based conglomerate Majid Al Futtaim, opened a new store at the Southfield Mall in Embakasi, Nairobi.
The new branch is the 16th by Carrefour in Kenya and targets shoppers from major estates such as Imara Daima, Nyayo Estate, Syokimau, and the larger Embakasi area.
According to Franck Moreau, the Carrefour Kenya manager, the new store will provide greater convenience to the communities living in proximity, offering unbeatable prices and value.
The store will have a grocery range and a complete fresh food assortment, including butchery, bakery, and fruits and vegetables, as well as cheeses and ready-to-eat items.
By the end of the year, the store will become a full hypermarket model with its non-food assortment, occupying a total space of 3,000 square meters on two floors.
