French franchise Carrefour is set to take over the stores of Shoprite Checkers when the South African giant completes its exit from the Uganda market.

The Carrefour franchise in Uganda is operated by the United Arab Emirates based Majid Al Futtaim Group, which announced in a press statement on Wednesday that it had agreed the lease transfer of Shoprite Checkers Uganda Limited’s store locations.
