The Carrefour Group officially announces the sale of its operations in Romania to Pavăl Holding, owned by the brothers Dragoș and Adrian Pavăl, founders of the DIY network Dedeman.
The transaction value is EUR 823 million. The French group expects to complete the sale of Carrefour Romania in the second half of 2026, after obtaining approvals from the regulatory authorities.
“We have always followed with interest the evolution of the business model developed by Carrefour. The idea of bringing together an extensive product offer in one place was an important milestone for us and inspired us in the way we developed Dedeman. At the same time, Carrefour Romania has opened important paths in the relationship with local producers, promoting the authenticity of Romanian products. It is a philosophy in which we fully identify because a healthy business only grows alongside the community that supports it,” says Dragoș Pavăl, President of Pavăl Holding and Dedeman.
Carrefour Romania operates a network of 478 stores (including 55 hypermarkets, 191 supermarkets, 202 convenience stores and 30 discount stores).
