Carrefour Argentina

Carrefour Argentina is a retail hypermarket and supermarket chain in Argentina, originally from France and a subsidiary of the Carrefour Group.

History

Carrefour arrived in Argentina in 1982, opening its first hypermarket in San Isidro, Buenos Aires. Over time, it expanded with different store formats like Market and Express.

From 2006 to 2009, the company invested 1.25 billion pesos, opened 45 new stores, and reopened 117 under the Carrefour brand. By 2009, it had over 20,000 employees, 11.6 billion pesos in revenue, and around 4,400 suppliers.

In 2001, Carrefour doubled its size by acquiring Supermercados Norte, becoming the largest retailer in the country. Today, Carrefour has over 650 stores in 22 provinces and is one of the biggest private employers in Argentina.
