Majid Al Futtaim, Carrefour’s exclusive franchisee in Kenya, has opened its 29th store at Sea Angel Mall on Jomo Kenyatta Avenue, in Mombasa’s Central Business District. 

This milestone introduces Carrefour’s first 24-hour outlet in Mombasa CBD, offering round-the-clock grocery access for residents, commuters, and travellers in a high-traffic area. 

Carrefour now operates four stores in Kenya’s coastal region, including Promenade Mall, City Mall, and Diani Mall, reinforcing its commitment to economic growth and community development. 

“Our goal is to create ‘Great Moments for Everyone, Every Day’ by delivering convenient, enjoyable shopping experiences centered on quality, affordability, and shared value,” said the Regional Director for Carrefour East Africa at Majid Al Futtaim Retail. 

Kenya’s retail market is projected to grow steadily, with e-commerce leading as a key driver. Kenya’s e-commerce market is expected to reach US$886 million in 2025, with a 16.2% growth rate, contributing to a global e-commerce growth of 9.8%.

Electronics (23.4%), hobby & leisure (21.9%), and fashion (18.8%) dominate e-commerce revenue, with Carrefour’s online platform leading at US$45.4 million in 2024.
