The Carrefour Group: one of the world’s leading retailers
In 50 years, the Carrefour Group has become a world leader in the retail sector. The second largest retailer in the world and the largest in Europe, the Group now features four major grocery retail formats: hypermarkets, supermarkets, cash & carry and convenience stores. The Carrefour Group currently has over 9 900 company-owned and franchise stores.
An international retailer
A pioneer in countries such as Brazil in 1975 and China in 1995, the Group now operates on three major markets: Europe, Latin America and Asia.
With a presence in more than 30 countries, it generates more than 55% of its sales outside France.
A force in local economic development
Everywhere it operates, the Carrefour Group demonstrates its commitment to local economic growth. Because retail involves people, it always gives priority to recruiting people who live locally, and to training its managers and staff on site.
Very often, the Carrefour Group is the premier private employer in the countries in which it operates. This is obviously the case in France – where the group was founded – but it also holds true in countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Italy. At the same time, the Group gives priority to local supply chains. So 75% of all its food products come from local suppliers in the countries in which it operates.
Avec près de 4000 points de vente en Europe et un chiffre d'affaires de 53,39 milliards d'euros en 2022, Le Groupement Les Mousquetaires est un acteur majeur de la grande distribution.
Créé en France en 1969, le Groupement, fondé sur l'initiative privée, rassemble aujourd'hui plus de 3 000 chefs d'entreprise indépendants, 150 000 collaborateurs et 7 enseignes : Intermarché, Netto, Bricomarché, Brico Cash, Bricorama, Roady, Rapid Pare-Brise.
Les Mousquetaires sont également présents au Portugal, en Belgique et en Pologne.
