Carrefour has renewed its partnership with Provencia from July 2026, following rumours the master franchisee could leave the group. Provencia is Carrefour’s largest franchisee, operating 38 Carrefour outlets in the Rhône-Alpes region, including seven hypers and 31 supers. The agreement supports Carrefour’s 2030 strategy, which includes accelerating franchising, adding 40 Carrefour Market stores per year and pursuing 50 new openings or acquisitions over four years.
