Majid Al Futtaim, the retail operator for Carrefour in Kenya, has announced the closure of its Carrefour store at Kisumu Mega Plaza Mall, effective November 30, 2024. The decision comes as part of a strategic evaluation aimed at ensuring long-term feasibility and sustainability in the Kenyan market.

In a communication to its partners, the company clarified that the closure is not a reflection of reduced commitment to suppliers or the Kisumu market. Instead, the move is part of a broader strategy to optimize operations and focus resources on other growth opportunities.

“While this was a difficult decision, it was necessary to ensure the long-term success of our Kenyan operations,” read the notice from Carrefour Kenya’s management. The retailer, which operates 25 stores across Kenya, affirmed its ongoing commitment to the local economy, with plans for future expansion despite the Kisumu exit.

The announcement emphasized the company’s dedication to minimizing disruptions to suppliers and ensuring a smooth transition. Partners were encouraged to liaise with their respective category managers to address concerns and streamline the adjustment process.
