Carrefour is set to shift to a bigger space at Sarit Centre’s new wing scheduled for completion at the end of the year.
French retailer Carrefour is set to open its fifth store at Sarit Centre shopping mall in April, taking over space vacated on Sunday by struggling retailer Uchumi #ticker:UCHM.
Carrefour, whose local franchise is held by Dubai-based conglomerate Majid Al Futtaim, three months ago opened its fourth store at the Junction Mall, which was previously occupied by struggling rival Nakumatt Holdings. Its other branches are located at Thika Road Mall, Two Rivers and the Hub Mall.
The retailer is set to shift to a bigger space at Sarit Centre’s new wing scheduled for completion at the end of the year.
“We are elated to be making our entry into Westlands area, which we consider to be very strategic for our business. The Carrefour store at Sarit Centre, gives us an opportunity to present our differentiated services to thousands of customers who visit this mall every day, due to its prime location,” said Majid Al Futtaim, Kenya country manager, Franck Moreau.
“We are privileged to have partnered with the mall owners before the completion of the new wing, making it possible to influence the design of the space to suit our specifications and international standards.”
