Majid Al Futtaim Retail, the exclusive operator of Carrefour in the UAE, has launched Carrefour’s first-ever 24/7 express grocery delivery service in Dubai, providing customers with round-the-clock convenience. Shoppers can now access over 10,000 products at competitive hypermarket prices through the Carrefour app, with orders delivered in 60 minutes or less, no matter the time of day or night.
This service represents the largest product selection on any online delivery platform in Dubai, delivering on Carrefour’s promise of affordability with no extra charges for late-night orders.
Dubai’s vibrant, around-the-clock lifestyle has fueled a demand for late-night and early-morning delivery options. Data reveals that 65% of orders occur during non-traditional hours, between 10:00 PM – 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM – 8:00 AM, highlighting the city’s distinctive shopping trends.
To meet this demand, Carrefour has rolled out its 24/7 express service, starting with a pilot hub in Dubai Marina. The service now covers prominent areas such as Palm Jumeirah, JBR, JVC, Al Barsha, Emirates Hills, Downtown, Business Bay, Financial Center, Jaddaf, and Deira. The retailer plans further expansions to neighborhoods including Mirdif, Arabian Ranches, Damac Hills, and Nad Al Sheba.
Seamless Convenience with a Comprehensive Range
Customers can access an extensive selection of over 10,000 products, including fresh produce, baby products, pet food, personal care items, and household essentials—all offered at Carrefour’s everyday low prices. Orders placed through the Carrefour app allow customers to earn and redeem SHARE points, reinforcing Carrefour’s commitment to value-driven convenience.
Speaking on the launch, Günther Helm, CEO of Majid Al Futtaim Retail, remarked:
“With Carrefour 24/7, we are democratizing the three elements consumers crave: convenience, a wide assortment, and affordability. As the demand for digital experiences and omnichannel retailing grows, Carrefour continues to redefine the concept of convenience commerce.”
Expansion Plans and the Future of Convenience Commerce
Majid Al Futtaim is poised to expand the 24/7 service across Dubai, bringing unprecedented accessibility to more communities. This initiative aligns with Carrefour’s broader strategy to lead the UAE’s “convenience commerce” movement by integrating seamless digital shopping with efficient delivery.
As Carrefour continues to innovate, the service cements its position as a leader in redefining modern shopping experiences in Dubai’s fast-paced urban landscape.
