Carrefour has expanded locally by opening two new stores in Kisumu at the City’s Market Mega and the United Mall.
The foreign retailer announced that the stores will be opened later this month and in August.
Carrefour Kenya Country Manager Franck Moreau said, “Kisumu is the third city we are investing in after Nairobi and Mombasa, and it is part of our larger strategy to increase our footprint in various regions across the country. Our continuous commitment to contribute towards the Kenyan economy is reflected in the increase of job opportunities for local communities where we operate.”
“As a true testament to uplifting those around us, more than two hundred Kisumu residents will benefit from the opening of the two stores through direct and indirect employment,” he added.
The total number of Carrefour’s outlets in Kenya now stand at 15, that is 11 in Nairobi, two in Mombasa and the pair set to be opened in Kisumu.
The retailer owned and operated by Majid Al Futtaim continues to show its success where others have failed as it fills up the vacated spaces.
