Carrefour has today (29 November) confirmed that it has opened its first hypermarket in Albania.
The 6500m sq ft store in Tirana opened on Saturday. Last year, the French retailer signed a joint venture with Marinopoulos, a company it already has a business relationship with, to develop hypermarkets and supermarkets under its namesake franchise in the Balkans.
