Marking the dynamic start of the partnership, Majid Al Futtaim opens two new Carrefour hypermarkets in Tashkent. The stores are scheduled to open in March-April this year. The stores will be located in the largest shopping and entertainment centers Samarqand Darvoza and Compass, owned by UzOman. With the opening of the first store in December 2020, Carrefour began expanding in the Uzbek market, which is a guarantee that the brand will become a trusted partner of the Uzbek community.
“As we begin a new chapter in Carrefour's history, we strive to bring more value to the communities we serve and throughout Uzbekistan with the quality and choice that Carrefour is known for. The launch of our hypermarkets in the largest shopping malls in the capital highlights our commitment to meeting the growing demand for modern retail in the country, as well as meeting the growing needs of customers. Our partnership with UzOman allows us to create meaningful job opportunities while creating wonderful moments for everyone every day”, - said Gyu Taeg Kim, General Manager of Carrefour Uzbekistan at Majid Al Futtaim Retail.
