Key hubs within the stores include; an assortment of fresh groceries, cooking classes, an organic division with regular tastings, a beauty and cosmetics division, a style area selling clothes and an alterations service, and a media section offering the latest technologies.
Carrefour planet will also organise events for clients throughout the year, which includes meetings, exhibitions, workshops and parties.
