Muscat: The renowned retail brand Carrefour ceased operations in Oman on January 7, 2025.
“Effective January 7, 2025, Carrefour operations will be discontinued in the Sultanate of Oman. On behalf of the Management and Staff, we express our sincerest gratitude for your unwavering support over the decades,” a company statement read.
The Carrefour signage across outlets in Muscat has been removed and replaced with the new brand Hypermax. In the capital, Carrefour has been closely associated with the City Centre Muscat, the City Centre Qurm, and the Mall of Oman, apart from smaller outlets in Muscat Grand Mall and Oasis Mall.
Majid al Futtaim, the exclusive operator of Carrefour in the Middle East and North Africa since 1995, introduced the first Carrefour hypermarket in the region at City Centre Deira, Dubai. By 2020, Majid Al Futtaim operated over 320 Carrefour outlets across 16 countries.
Notably, earlier this year, the company made a similar transition in Jordan, replacing Carrefour with Hypermax.
