Majid Al Futtaim, the leading shopping mall, communities, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa and Asia, unveiled the Carrefour Central Kitchen. The new facility will prepare and supply Carrefour stores throughout the UAE with consistent, high quality, ready-to-eat and easy to cook meals alongside grab and go items, and chopped vegetables.
Spanning 7,000 square metres, the Central Kitchen is a state-of-the-art facility located at the Carrefour Regional Distribution Centre in Jebel Ali. It is set to provide new and better food options while creating a taste unique to Carrefour, with a head chef regularly preparing and testing new recipes in a purpose built innovation kitchen. Once fully operational, customers can choose from a selection of 40 meals per day across different cuisines. With all food prepared in one centralised facility following Carrefour’s stringent hygiene standards, shoppers can trust the safety of the food served.
Hani Weiss, Chief Executive Officer at Majid Al Futtaim Retail, said: “Quality, convenience, safety, and wellbeing have become our customers’ top priorities when it comes to the food they consume. The Central Kitchen is the latest effort to cater to this need consistently and guarantees that all of Carrefour’s food items, meals, recipes, and inventive flavours have Majid Al Futtaim’s stamp of excellence. This is a testament of our proud record of innovation, customer-centric experiences and high-quality services.”

The facility will also prepare easy-to-cook, and ready-to-heat meals, and chopped vegetables that serves the fast-paced lifestyle of UAE’s residents.
