In Summary:
Carrefour has expanded its footprint in Kenya with the opening of its first store in Kilifi.
Majid Al Futtaim has strengthened its investment in Kenya's retail sector with the opening of a new Carrefour store in Kilifi, extending the supermarket chain's reach beyond Nairobi as it pursues nationwide expansion.
The new outlet is Carrefour's 36th store in Kenya and the sixth outside the capital, reflecting the retailer's strategy of bringing modern shopping closer to communities in fast-growing towns across the country.
Located in Kilifi, the store occupies approximately 1,500 square metres of retail space and offers a broad range of products, including groceries, fresh food, electronics, and home appliances. The expansion is expected to improve access to quality products at competitive prices while providing residents with a convenient shopping experience.
The investment also reinforces Carrefour's role in supporting Kenya's retail ecosystem. By expanding into new markets, the retailer creates employment opportunities, strengthens local supply chains, and provides farmers, manufacturers, and other suppliers with greater access to consumers.
Majid Al Futtaim said its continued expansion is driven by a commitment to making modern retail more accessible across Kenya while promoting inclusive economic growth. The company believes bringing stores closer to underserved communities helps bridge the gap between consumers and affordable, high-quality products.
With the Kilifi opening, Carrefour now operates 30 stores in Nairobi and six others across the country, underscoring the company's long-term confidence in Kenya's growing consumer market and regional economic potential.
