 PROFILE
At the junction of groceries, merchandise, and services, you'll find Carrefour (which means "crossroads"). The world's second-largest retailer (behind Wal-Mart), Carrefour operates more than 9,400 stores under some two dozen names, including hypermarkets (Carrefour), supermarkets (Champion), convenience stores (Shopi, Marché Plus), discount stores (Dia, Ed), and cash-and-carry stores (Promocash) in 27 countries in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the US (where it owns almost 12% of the PETsMART pet supply superstores). France accounts for about half of its sales. Carrefour secured its spot as the #1 European retailer when it merged with food retailer PromodEs early in 2000 and raised it banner over those stores.
