Paris, Massy, 3 May 2021 – One year ago, Carrefour and Uber Eats decided to team up and make everyday life easier for people across France by enabling them to get day-to-day products delivered to their home in under 30 minutes. 12 months on, this strategic partnership is still growing and has been bolstered:

  • by the end of this year, more than a thousand Carrefour stores will be accessible via the application, throughout France.
  • delivery is now available in 10 to 20 minutes.

 

On 6 April 2020, 15 Carrefour stores made their debut on the Uber Eats app for the first time in Paris and its surrounding region. A total of 150 products were available for order, including fruit vegetables, dairy products, dry products (pasta, rice, etc.) and hygiene and maintenance products, as well as drinks. Just a month after the launch of this partnership, the number of everyday product orders had more than doubled, and 100 sales outlets were already available via the app.

 

Throughout 2020, Carrefour and Uber Eats strove to meet consumers' needs and cater to their wishes by selling a selection of seasonal products, products for particular times of the year, such as holidays, and products for new occasions that we are now marking, such as Detox week, Chinese New Year week, chocolates for Easter and even Italian-themed evenings.

 

Rapid deployment throughout the country

Currently, 830 Carrefour stores across nearly 170 urban areas in France are part of the initiative. They sell more than 3000 products, all available via the Uber Eats app. This means that products can be delivered in as little as 10 minutes – in March, 40% of all deliveries were made in under 20 minutes.

Half of all people living in France can now get their Carrefour shopping delivered to them via the Uber Eats app. By the end of the year, nearly 1000 stores will have signed up, and the range will continue to be expanded until 5000 products are available for delivery.

Some key figures:

  • 830 stores as of 3 May
