The Carrefour company is created in France in 1959. First Carrefour hypermarket opened in 1963, in Sainte-Genevieve-des-bois. In 1999, Carrefour merged with Promodes, and became the leader of the retail business in Europe, the second largest company worldwide.

Carrefour logo with its blue, red & white colors has a very significant meaning behind it: it’s a continuous commitment to our customers. The logo was created in 1966, coming from C of Carreour and an arrow on on both sides, representing customers coming form all directions and meeting at Carrefour. The translation of Carrefour in Chinese, with its meaning of “Every Happy family”, reflects the core values of Carrefour.
