Article Abstract:
Carrefour is gradually going to set up a system for supplying hypermarkets daily with textile products by the end of 2001. It is going to inaugurate a new 110,000-square metre warehouse entirely devoted to textiles in March 2001, in order to make this possible. The daily supply for stores is going to enable the group's sales people to spend more time in stores.

Carrefour, the French retail group, is going to invest EUR 6bn in the opening of new sales outlets in 2000: it will open one Dia discount store every day, a Champion store every three days, and a hypermarket every week. By the end of 2000, Carrefour should have 260 supermarkets, 200 discount stores, and 130 hypermarkets on the American continent. It is going to create 20 hypermarkets in Asia (3 in Japan, 4 in Thailand, 2 in Indonesia, and the rest in Korea and in China), while 15 new store openings are planned in Europe (4 in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, 4 in Poland, 3 in Turkey, and 3 in Greece).

Article Abstract:
In May 2000, eight Continent hypermarkets - in Amiens, Cherbourg, Vannes, Lorient, Quimper, L'Isle-Adam, Saint-Malo and Tours - will change their name to Carrefour. They were chosen because they are in isolated areas and they are far away from any Carrefour in their surrounding area. This change in retail chain involves special improvements from a list named 'Ticket minimum' which varies from FFr 3mn to FFr 4mn in cost. The next stage in the merger involves the harmonisation of the logistics systems and the standardisation of the computer systems.
