Carrefour has launched its 23rd store at GTC Mall in Westlands, which will operate 24 hours a day as the firm seeks to expand its presence in Nairobi.

Speaking during the launch, Carrefour’s regional director, Christophe Orcet, said the new branch offers an extensive range of products such as groceries, fruits, vegetables, and everyday home essentials.

“With the self-checkout service, Food to Go concept and 24-hour operations, our intention is to offer convenient solutions that will enhance the shopping experience. The opening is also a testament to our long-term commitment to Kenya and our dedication to contributing to the country’s economic development.”

In a statement, Carrefour stated that the expansion of retail will generate substantial job opportunities and reinforce partnerships with local suppliers.

Carrefour now operates 18 stores in Nairobi, 3 in Mombasa, and 2 in Kisumu.

“Carrefour’s presence in Kenya not only creates job opportunities for local residents but also fosters partnerships with local suppliers, supporting the growth of the local economy.”

The new store is expected to provide an additional 50 job opportunities.
