Carrefour Discount will launch at the end of May offering consumers “a selection of everyday essentials at very low prices”, the retailer said today (22 April), as a way of addressing the “current economic worries of consumers”.
The range comprises of over 400 food and non-food items. Of those items, 83% are food products, ranging from biscuits, sugar and convenience foods, to cooked meats, frozen food and fruit juices, soda and water.
“We want to answer Carrefour’s customers expectations,” a spokesperson told just-food. “We target every customer. Nowadays, customers make choices, being careful about the quality of the food and their food budget. With Carrefour Discount, we offer them a way to conciliate both aspirations.”
The retailer said it had no plans to further expand the range at the current time.
