Carrefour today took charge of a plot of land on the edge of town here to build a Maxi supermarket. It'll have a large car park as well as a cafe. Work is expected to start asap.....the soner it opens the better!!

Hopefully they keep enough tills open to keep queuing to pay to a minimum. A welcome addition though UK Man
Not before time. I suspect it was only allowed due to it's location, far out from the only other two stores. It's great for us as we'll have to pass it on the way to/from the quinta so it's not out of our way. At least there'll be room to park.
I cant make my mind up about the Carrefour Maxi business model.

They do both / with discounts if you buy in Bulk.
I just don't like the layout of the shop.
The two I have been in were conversions of small Carrefour supermarkets that I quite liked - but they changed everything around and I could never find what I wanted.
A new build Maxi has opened about 10kms away - So I will have to pay a visit.
