“The purpose of the restructure is to implement fresh ways to improve the performance of Carrefour hypermarkets in France,” the spokesperson said.

These newly-formed units will be overseen by long-time Carrefour executives Patrice Lespagnol, Philippe Lartigue and  Frederic Duranton. Each executive will report directly to Noel Prioux, executive director of Carrefour France.

The company declined to reveal further details of its strategy for reinvigorating a format that has seen slumping sales and profits.
