Number of Carrefour stores 2023, by country

In 2023, the multinational retailer Carrefour had the highest number of stores in France, where the supermarket chain is headquartered. The majority of shops Carrefour operated in its home country were in convenience store format, followed by supermarkets and hypermarkets.

Success at home

Carrefour’s activities are concentrated in France and in European markets. In addition to the numerous supermarkets and retail stores there, the old continent contributes the most to the retailer’s annual net sales, a trend witnessed consistently throughout the years.
