Technological Advancement
The retailer first trialled self-service checkouts at its Carrefour Baneasa hypermarket in the capital city Bucharest last August.
Carrefour said that this modern and welcoming store offers many services to its customers, such as Apple Pay, the Carrefour app, tickets for events, warranty extensions and more.
The Romanian outlet of the French retail giant now has 311 stores, including the 33 hypermarkets, which tallies at 13 new stores for 2017.
