Overview
At the junction of groceries, merchandise, and services, you'll find Carrefour (which means "crossroads"). The world's second-largest retailer (behind Wal-Mart), Carrefour operates about 15,000 stores under some two dozen names, including hypermarkets (Carrefour), supermarkets (Champion), convenience stores (Shopi, Marché Plus), discount stores (Dia, Ed), and cash-and-carry stores (Promocash) in about 30 countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. France accounts for about 45% of the retailer's sales. Carrefour secured its spot as the #1 European retailer (based on sales) when it merged with food retailer Promodès early in 2000 and raised its banner over those stores.
