CARREFOUR PLANS TO HANDLE 5,000 CUSTOMERS DAILY
YEREVAN, March 11. / ARKA /. French retail hypermarket Carrefour
that has opened a store in Yerevan today plans to handle about 5,000
customers daily, Christian de Nale, head of Carrefour Armenia said.
The official opening of the store in Yerevan Mall was attended by
President Serzh Sargsyan.
"Our goods will be cheaper than those of our competitors. Besides,
we will give preference to Armenian products, first of all foods. A
look on our shelves is a proof of that," said de Nale.
He said the Carrefour store in Yerevan is cooperating with Armenian
ministry of agriculture in order to sell Armenian goods through
Carrefour stores around the world.
He said Carrefour plans to open more stores 'because a city like
Yerevan needs several such hypermarkets.'
The agreement between Carrefour and Yerevan Mall was signed in May
2014 in the presence of President Sargsyan and French President
Francois Hollande, who was on a visit to Armenia.
Carrefour SA is a French retail trade company, the world's second
biggest chain of hypermarket after Wal-Mart.
According to the National Statistical Service, Armenia's trade with
France in 2014 saw a 21 percent rise from the previous year to about
$85 million. Armenian exports to France slashed by 23% to about $5
million, while imports surged by 24.3% to $79.8 million.-0-
