On August 25, 2021, Carrefour, a leading retailer in Kenya, marked another milestone in its expansion programme with the opening of a new store at the Southfield Mall in Embakasi, Nairobi.
The new store, which is the 12th in Nairobi and the 16th countrywide, will serve customers from major estates such as Imara Daima, Nyayo Estate, Syokimau, and the larger Embakasi area.
According to Franck Moreau, Country Manager of Carrefour Kenya at Majid Al Futtaim Retail, the store will provide customers with an unforgettable experience, offering unbeatable prices and value.
‘At Carrefour, we strive to provide customers with an unforgettable experience every time they enter our stores. In our efforts to provide our customers with unbeatable prices and value, our latest expansion will provide even greater convenience to the communities that live in proximity,’ Moreau said.
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.
The opening of the new store will eventually hire 125 internal employees and 100 external employees, presenting multiple opportunities for local suppliers, farmers, and manufacturers.
