French grocer Carrefour has entered Iraq with the opening of its first hypermarket at Erbil’s Family Mall. The 107,640 sq ft store is the first of several Carrefour hypermarkets to open in partnership with Erbil-based Darin Group, Majid Al Futtaim Retail’s partners in Iraq.

The opening of Iraq’s  first Carrefour hypermarket was delayed for more than a year for “logistic-related issues and the lack of finding employees” at the Erbil operation.
