Carrefour Builds New DC For Summer Opening

Carrefour is to build a new 32,200 square metre (347,000 square foot) distribution centre in Berre L’Etang, close to Marseille, to open this summer.

The France-based retailer has enlisted real estate firm Goodman to develop the depot, and is scheduled to have the facility in operation by the end of the summer.

It is expected that the warehouse will be extended to 44,000 square metres (474,000 square feet) by 2016, and again to 62,000 square metres (667,000 square feet) at a later date. (10 April)
