Founded in 1959, the Paris-based grocery retailer and wholesaler operates in more than 40 countries. The group is also present in numerous African, Middle Eastern, Central Asia and South Asian markets through local partner operators. Carrefour has been at the forefront of many now-familiar features of European retail, including hypermarkets, grocery e-commerce, and own-brand products, which now account for a significant portion of its food sales.
