Majid Al Futtaim, which owns the exclusive rights to operate Carrefour in
Pakistan, announced the inauguration of two new Carrefour supermarkets in
Lahore, as part of Majid Al Futtaim’s vision to expand its investment and
retail footprint in the country. With this expansion, Majid Al Futtaim’s
current investment in Pakistan is set to grow to 14 billion Rupees, bringing
the total number of stores in the country to 13.
Strategically located in DHA Phase 7 (Sector T) and
DHA Phase 11 (DHA-Rahbar, Block 2M), the stores are redefining the shopping
experience for customers in their respective areas, addressing customer needs
for grocery and daily essentials, surpassing traditional supermarket offerings.
Featuring a bakery and deli, the stores boast an
expanded assortment of delectable food options with diverse flavors and an onsite
cafe. The stores also feature a dedicated fresh butchery section adhering to

an exclusive health and beauty concept by Majid Al Futtaim. Myli’s diverse
range spans cosmetics, fragrances, hair care, and skincare essentials, meeting
the country’s increasing demand for premium yet affordable personal care items.
Moreover, both locations provide a convenient in-store pharmacy, contributing
to the health and wellness of the community and establishing these stores as a
one-stop destination for daily essentials.
