Its philosophy is the same everywhere, but there are differences that can be divided in four large clusters: ‘on the go’ focuses on the consumer who wants to have his needs fulfilled while he is on the go.

Others focus on the urban consumer who wants to stock up on something quickly. The rural stores are designed for the local populace who wants to get service right around the corner. Finally, there are the train and gas station stores, all equipped with their own slightly altered product range. 

The branch containing the Express stores is growing. If Carrefour, which launched the Belgian Express stores in 2012, manages to finalize its plans for this year, it will have opened another 21 Express stores in 2014.
