On January 5, 2026, Carrefour signed a franchise agreement with Midroc, Ethiopia’s largest private group, marking its entry into the 14th African market. The 13 Queens supermarkets in Addis Ababa will be rebranded Carrefour Market, with 17 additional stores planned by 2028, including hypermarkets. This move strengthens Carrefour’s expansion strategy across the continent, where it now operates over 700 outlets.
