Carrefour said that following three months of discussions the two groups have not been able to reach an agreement to renew their affiliation contract.
Coop Atlantique owns seven Carrefour hypermarkets, 31 Carrefour Market, seven Carrefour Contact outlets and one Carrefour City. It also operates over 200 supermarkets and convenience stores under the Ecofrais banner.
