Carrefour is set to launch a new fresh-focused pilot concept, Match Frais, in Faches-Thumesnil from 17 June 2026. The 2,000m2 site will devote 80% of sales space to fresh products, with fruit and vegetables at its core and no non-food offer. The outlet will also feature self-prepared and ready-to-eat items, with four prepared-food stations along the route. Unlike Grand Frais, several counters including bakery, dairy and butcher-deli will be self-service. (Olivier Dauvers)
