What: the French hypermarket is following Auchan into the launch of ultra-fast delivery services to compete with Uber Eats and Deliveroo.

Why it is important:  Even though they have acquired the technical capabilities, Carrefour will limit this service to 1,000 products, which is significantly lower to other European operators such as El Corte Inglés, able to deliver its whole catalogue (including fresh food) in 2 hours.

Carrefour, which took a minority stake in Cajoo, a French 15-mn delivery service powered via an app, has announced the launch of a similar service for a selection of 1,000 products, in the hope to compete with ultra-fast delivery services, such as Deliveroo and Uber eats.

Neither the name or the date of launch have been disclosed so far.
