Carrefour is set to undergo a management overhaul and rebrand following the conclusion of the "Basket of Israel" program, which negatively impacted its financial results and operational capabilities. The program, initiated by the Ministry of Economy, offered a selection of 112 products at reduced prices across 55 Carrefour branches. Originally planned for a year, the initiative was cut short after two weeks due to widespread public criticism and mutual agreement between Carrefour and the ministry.
The "Basket of Israel" program, intended to lower consumer prices, created significant operational challenges for Carrefour and restricted its ability to manage promotions. This initiative also eroded the company's profitability during a critical period leading up to its planned stock offering. With the program's termination and a recent change in CEO, Carrefour aims to recover and rebuild its image.
