Foundation, awarded by
the store directors. More

THE HYPERMARKET CELEBRATES ITS
50
th
ANNIVERSARY
On June 15, 1963, Carrefour
opened the first hypermarket in France,
in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois.
It was the first step in an adventure,
supported by employees who
are committed to providing a wide
selection of high-quality products
at the best possible price, every day.
A series of events were held throughout
2013 to celebrate the anniversary,
bringing together employees,
customers, suppliers, and partners
– the people who have made Carrefour
what it is today, and always will.
