Just a heads up, Carrefour actually is a very large multinational hypermarket chain, not a local grocery. It's one of the top ten retailers, on roughly the same scale as Walmart and Costco. They just don't have a presence in North America.

Mind you, the food they sell is still significantly better than an equivalent low cost grocery in the US.



I find it really odd that when comparing European and American grocery stores people somehow turn a blind eye to the "supermercat" places you can find about three to a block here, whose sole mission is to sell dusty canned goods and 90 degree wine to desperate people who can't find anything better.
