NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 6 – Retail chain Carrefour has appointed Christophe Orcet as its new Country Manager, taking over from Frank Moreau.
Orcet previously worked in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he served as Head of Operations and Commercial at MAF Carrefour.
His appointment comes at a time when the retailer is seeking to expand its operations in East Africa.
Altogether, Carrefour now operates 19 stores countrywide, with 15 located in Nairobi, while Kisumu and Mombasa host two stores each.
The stores are found at the Hub, the Village Market, the Galleria Shopping Mall, the Sarit Centre, the Junction Mall, the Thika Road Mall, the Two Rivers Mall, and the Southfields Mall.
Others are Valley Arcade and Kilimani in Nairobi, United Mall and Mega Plaza in Kisumu, and City Mall and Center Point Mall in Nyali and Diani, respectively.
In November last year, it opened its first store at the Comet House, aiming to tap Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) customers.
The new store is located along Monrovia Street, offering a wide array of products such as consumer goods, cleaning and household products, personal hygiene products, and fresh food, including fruits and vegetables.
