He added that the four branches include two supermarkets and two hypermarkets with total investments worth EGP 230m. Each super market will cost about EGP 15m, while the investment of each hypermarket is EGP 100m.
According to the ITDA, the space of any hypermarket in Egypt ranges between 10,000 and 15,000m, while the supermarket area ranges between 1,600 and 4,000m.
For his part, Herve Majidier, COO for Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain at Majid Al Futtaim Retail, stated that the company aims to open two new branches next month in Moqattam and a new branch in Almaza in September.
This is part of the expansion plan of the 100 Carrefour locations that is part of a joint initiative with the National Service Products Organisation and the Egyptian Ministry of Investment and International Cooperation.
