Carrefour Romania wants to expand its Express proximity store network by over 40 units next year, after opening 16 stores under this brand in 2024. The Express store format is the one that recorded the highest growth in 2024, according to the company.
For 2025, the retailer aims to accelerate its Express format development plans with over 40 units, located both in pedestrian areas with intense traffic and within important projects in new residential areas.
“The Express store format is the one that recorded the highest growth in 2024. We have sensed this trend since past years and have allocated resources to support consistent double-digit growth. We have implemented a new strategy to test small spaces, which allows us to accelerate the pace of store openings in 2025, with the objective of exceeding the number of stores opened in 2024. The retail market will continue to grow in 2025, and the proximity format will continue to be a strong driver in the future,” said Roxana Cernica, Small Formats Business Unit Director Carrefour Romania.
The retailer will also continue the remodeling process of older stores, including the installation of self-service kiosks.
