Carrefour is a French multiformat retailer with operations in about thirty countries, with shops around the world, and around 1000 drive-thru locations. Established in 1959, hypermarkets account for the bulk of sales in France, and the company is expanding away from its initial hypermarket style.
In June 1960, the foremost Carrefour supermarket was opened. The Carrefour Group features four main grocery retail formats—hypermarkets, supermarkets, cash and carry, and convenience stores. The group also has about 9,900 company-owned and franchise stores.
In July 2023, Carrefour announced that it entered an agreement with the Louis Delhaize group to acquire the Cora and Match banners in France. The transaction includes the acquisition of fifty-five hypermarkets and seventy-seven supermarkets.
