Carrefour Exits Jordan, Oman, Kuwait & Bahrain!

French retail giant Carrefour has officially closed its stores in Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain over the past ten months following sustained pressure from pro-Palestinian activists and the boycott movement. The closures come amid allegations that Carrefour had business ties with Israeli companies in West Bank settlements and claims the company denies, insisting on its neutrality.

The move marks a significant victory for boycott campaigns, demonstrating the tangible impact of collective consumer action. Regional competitors, like HyperMax under Majid Al Futtaim, are now stepping in to fill the gap, highlighting the shifting dynamics of retail in the Middle East.

This development underscores the power of ethical consumer choices and the influence communities can wield when standing by their values!
