Carrefour has announced the closure of its operations in Oman, marking another significant step in its regional restructuring. The announcement, made on January 7, 2025, confirmed that the popular retailer would no longer operate in the country.
Sharing the news through its official Instagram and Facebook pages, Carrefour stated, “As of January 7, 2025, Carrefour will cease all its operations in Oman.” This decision comes as part of a broader shift in its business strategy.
In addition, the company expressed its deep appreciation for its customers in Oman. “We would like to extend our sincerest thanks and gratitude for your continued support throughout the decades,” the statement read. Carrefour also conveyed its best wishes for the well-being and health of its loyal patrons.
Notably, this closure follows a similar move announced on November 5, 2024, when Carrefour confirmed it would cease operations in Jordan. These back-to-back announcements highlight the evolving dynamics within the region’s retail sector.
Although the specific reasons behind these closures remain unclear, the impact on customers has been acknowledged. Carrefour apologized for any inconvenience caused and emphasized its commitment to maintaining quality service in its remaining markets.
Carrefour’s operations in Oman had played a crucial role in the local retail sector. Known for its wide variety of products, competitive pricing, and customer-centric approach, the retailer had earned a strong reputation among Omani shoppers. Moreover, its presence contributed significantly to the shopping experience in the country.
Despite these exits, Carrefour continues to thrive in other regions under the management of Majid Al Futtaim. The parent company remains dedicated to enhancing Carrefour’s presence in key markets and ensuring a seamless shopping experience for its customers.
As Carrefour bids farewell to Oman, the retailer leaves behind a legacy of trust and service. This heartfelt departure underscores its gratitude to the community and reflects its focus on adapting to changing market conditions.
