As part of the brand's ambitious expansion plan, Carrefour will also launch a 1,200 sqm store in Al Azhar and another 1,100 sqm location in Alexandria's Wingit neighbourhood.
Jean Luc Graziato, Country Manager of Carrefour Egypt, said , 'As our new Alexandria location shows, we are fully committed to helping the communities we serve grow. Our four new stores, which add up to an investment of EGP 37m, emphasise our goal to be a pillar of the communities we live and work in.'
