Press release, November 26th 2019
Carrefour and Fnac Darty are strengthening their partnership
and continuing to deploy Darty shop-in-shops in Carrefour hypermarkets
Carrefour and Fnac Darty announce advanced discussions for the deployment of some 30 Darty shop-in-shops in Carrefour hypermarkets in France, under exclusive operating agreements.
The first two pilots opened in November 2018 in Carrefour hypermarkets in Ville-du-Bois and Limoges confirmed the operational feasibility and pertinence of wider-scale deployment, creating value for both banners’ customers, employees and suppliers.
The groups are finalizing the operating procedures for a deployment in 2020 and 2021. This project will be notably subject to prior approval by the Competition Authority.
With this project, Carrefour and Fnac Darty are refocusing their collaboration on a sustainable structural partnership model of selling in shop-in-shops, and against this backdrop, the existing purchasing partnership in France will terminate by the end of 2019. This decision will enable both banners to independently conduct their annual negotiations for 2020.
