Listed French supermarkets group Carrefour [EPA:CA] is set to close down 227 stores formerly operating under the Dia brand after having failed to find buyers for it, French daily Les Echos reported. The report cited a spokesperson for the group as confirming the news.
Carrefour announced earlier this year that it was planning to reduce the number of ex-DIA stores by 273. The company said at the time that a plan to search for buyers was launched store by store and that in the absence of buyers, these stores would be closed.
According to the report, the period to look for buyers ends on 4 June.
