They opened their first hypermarket on 15 June 1963 in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, near Paris. The Carrefour group was the first in Europe to open a hypermarket, a large supermarket, and a department store under the same roof. The group was created in 1958 by Marcel Fournier, Denis Defforey and Jacques Defforey, who attended and were influenced by several seminars in the United States led by "the Pope of retail" Bernardo Trujillo. The first Carrefour shop (not a hypermarket) opened in 1960, within suburban Annecy, near a crossroads (hence the name, carrefour means crossroads in French). The eighth-largest retailer in the world by revenue, it operates a chain of hypermarkets, groceries stores and convenience stores, which as of December 2021, comprises 13,894 stores in over 30 countries. Carrefour ( French pronunciation: ( listen)) is a French multinational retail and wholesaling corporation headquartered in Massy, France.
