Carrefour sales up 143 per cent in first six months

Majid Al Futtaim, the exclusive holder of French retailer Carrefour’s franchise in Kenya, has recorded a 143 per cent jump in turnover in the first six months of the year, riding on accelerated expansion of the supermarket chain in Nairobi.

The Dubai-based conglomerate which opened its first store in Nairobi in 2016 made public its Kenya half-year sales in a newly-released financial report that cited Nairobi as one its strongest growth markets.
