Carrefour Kenya has opened a new store at Southfield Mall in Embakasi as part of its ongoing commitment to expanding its footprint in the country.
According to the retailer, the latest supermarket will serve customers from major estates such as Imara Daima, Nyayo Estate, Syokimau, and the larger Embakasi area.
“The store will ensure Carrefour customers residing in the target estates can shop more conveniently. The store will have a grocery range and a complete fresh food assortment, including butchery, bakery, and fruits and vegetables, as well as cheeses and ready-to-eat items,” the company said.
Carrefour hopes that by the end of the year, the store will become a full hypermarket model with its non-food assortment, occupying a total space of 3,000 square meters on two floors.

Franck Moreau, Country Manager of Carrefour Kenya at Majid Al Futtaim Retail noted that the company strives to provide customers with an unforgettable experience every time they shop.
“In our efforts to provide our customers with unbeatable prices and value, our latest expansion will provide even greater convenience to the communities that live in proximity. We are happy to have a new addition in Nairobi as we continue to expand countrywide,” said Moreau.
The opening of the latest store will eventually hire 125 internal employees and 100 external employees supporting the local community and contributing to the growth of the local economy.
This also presents multiple opportunities for local suppliers, farmers, and manufacturers which further contributes to Carrefour’s mission of supporting the prosperity of local industries and communities.
