Majid Al Futtaim has openned a fourth Carrefour store at the Junction Mall in Ngong Road.
According to Franck Moreau, Country Manager, at Majid Al Futtaim this was a significant milestone since they started operations in Kenya in 2016. “We are pleased and honoured to be bringing our services closer to our customers, by adopting the successful “partial selling area” model we first adopted last year, as we progressively prepare to have fully fledged operations in the popular mall.”
Carrefour store at the Junction Mall will offer a selected product range in a partial selling area of 1,300 square metres as refurbishment work gets underway in the rest of the selling area. It will cater for those living in residential areas along Ngong Road, Lavington, and Dagoretti Corner, as well as those who use the busy road on their daily commute. Upon the completion of the refurbishment later in the year, the hypermarket will have a total selling space of 4,700 square metres.
The store is set to stock over 30,000 food and non-food items, and host specialist sections such as, fresh produce, groceries, a fresh bakery, and a butchery.
The strategic location of the mall, ample and secure parking and proper ambient lighting are among the attractions that will position Carrefour as a choice store for customers visiting The Junction.
Majid Al Futtaim, which holds the exclusive franchise rights to operate Carrefour in 38 countries, is still seeking opportunities to open stores in strategic locations within Kenya and the rest of the greater East African region in the coming years. This is in line with the company’s plans to cater for the growing population yearning for a wide range of products, sold at the best prices in the best possible environment.
