Retail giant Carrefour has announced that it has completed the modernisation of eight outlets in Poland since the beginning of 2018.
Stores in Płock, Olkusz, Starachowice, Ostrowiec, and Toruń have been remodelled to provide customers with a better shopping experience.
By the end of this year, Carrefour Polska is planning to commence remodelling stores in Biała Podlaska and Zamość.
Enhanced Shopping Experience
In most outlets, the entrances and avenues have been widened along with changes in lighting, the height of shelves, and furniture arrangement.
Special zones have been created with specific product offers in stores in Ostrowiec, Starachowice, and Płock. These include zones for craft beers, healthy food, the world kitchen zone, and the Carrefour smokehouse concept.
Eco-Friendly Initiatives
The modernised stores have also implemented environmentally-friendly installations that use carbon dioxide as a coolant.
Traditional lighting has been replaced with energy-saving LED lamps, which are expected to cut down electricity consumption by about 20% - 30% in each store.
The retailer has also introduced photovoltaic systems as well as geothermal installations in its stores.
The remodelling is a part of Carrefour Polska’s strategy of modernising its real estate portfolio. Since the implementation of the strategy in 2014, about 75% of the facilities in Poland have been modernised.
