Majid Al Futtaim, the leading shopping mall, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East and North Africa, on Sunday announced that Carrefour will open ten new stores in the UAE in 2017, setting it on target to reach 140 hypermarkets and 210 supermarkets in the countries in which Majid Al Futtaim operates by 2018.
Carrefour, franchised by Majid Al Futtaim in 38 markets across the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia, will open two hypermarkets and eight supermarkets across the emirates next year as it looks to meet the growing demand for convenience shopping.
“This week marks 21 years since Majid Al Futtaim introduced the Carrefour hypermarket concept to the UAE and the wider region as part of its vision to create great moments for everyone, every day. Since then, the brand has become synonymous with providing customers with unbeatable value and choice. During our ten day anniversary promotion in 2015, we served more than three million customers, a figure we are targeting to increase 15% this year,†said Miguel Povedano, Executive Regional
Director for Carrefour UAE.
