Carrefour Kenya, owned and run by Majid Al Futtaim, remains confident about its prospects in the Kenyan market following the expansion of its retail footprint.
The 3,000 square-metre store at Business Bay in Nairobi’s Eastleigh area will be one of the largest opened by Carrefour in the country since 2019 and promises to conveniently serve customers looking to shop from its wide array of products.
The new store will absorb about 60 employees across different departments of its corporate set-up.
The store will also have dedicated e-commerce operations to increase convenience and shopping options for customers.
“The new store will help us widen the breadth of our services and products. The Eastleigh area is easily accessible for people living in Nairobi and those from other parts of the country,” Christophe Orcet, Regional Director — East Africa, Majid Al Futtaim.
“Our aim is to ensure increased convenience for each and every customer while we serve as many Kenyans as possible.”
With the new addition, Carrefour now operates 20 stores countrywide with 16 located in Nairobi, while Kisumu and Mombasa host two stores each.
The stores are strategically located in various malls in the three cities including the Hub, Business Bay Mall, the Village Market, Galleria Shopping Mall, the Sarit Centre, the Junction Mall, Thika Road Mall, Two Rivers Mall, Southfields Mall, Valley Arcade and Kilimani in Nairobi, United Mall and Mega Plaza in Kisumu and City Mall and Center Point Mall in Nyali and Diani respectively.
