CARREFEUR TO SELL ANY PRODUCTS AT LOWER PRICES - CARREFEUR COUNTRY DIRECTOR
15:12 * 11.03.15
The French hypermarket chain Carrefeur on Wednesday launched its
trading center in Yerevan in an official opening ceremony attended
also by Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan.
The Carrefeur chain in Armenia will prioritize domestic products,
Carrefeur Country Director Christian De Nale told reporters at the
opening ceremony.
He noted that imports constitute only 5%.
Like in any other country, in Armenia Carrefeur remains committed to
its ideology: classes of goods for any family regardless of whether
they are food products or not.
The hypermarket's task is to sell any product at a lower price than
other supermarkets do.
Asked about steps to sell imported products at reasonable prices
given the lack of outlet to the sea, Mr Christian De Nale said that
selling prices consider logistics, but in a balanced way.
He said that Carrefeur has not encountered any difficulties in entering
Armenia's market.
Carrefeur has worked in Armenia for two years, and opening hypermarkets
in any country requires two or three years. The chain will soon start
operating new, safe equipment, and preparations require time.
Carrefeur is seeking for opportunities to expand its activities in
Armenia, Mr Christian De Nale said.
