Carrefour’s Exciting Changes This Rosh Hashanah
As Rosh Hashanah approaches, Carrefour, the French retail giant making waves in the Israeli market, has announced significant changes to enhance customer experience. Following similar moves from local competitors like Rami Levy, Victory, and Shufersal, Carrefour is making its stores more accessible during this festive season.
Extended Opening Hours for Customers
In a recent Facebook announcement, Carrefour expressed its commitment to serving its customers during this important time.

It offers a unique shopping experience reminiscent of international standards found in Europe and Dubai, bringing a modern twist to grocery shopping in the heart of the city.
