“In less than five months, we are already in 8 different regions throughout Greece, with 13 stores, of two different types. In addition, the connection of consumers with the Carrefour brand was fully reflected in the dynamics that our stores have already developed in the local markets. Our business plan continues inexorably, aiming to have completed our first phase of development by the end of the year. The opening of the Piraeus store is the second important step for us, after the creation of the first store, since it is our first corporate store in Attica”, notes Vassilis Stasinoulias, CEO of Carrefour in Greece.
