According to him, this is a significant economic move that will strengthen local trade, increase competition, and bring about real discounts for the benefit of residents.
The new branch offers a wide variety of departments and products, along with competitive promotions and prices: 1.2 liter concentrated fabric softener for 7.9 NIS, a variety of vegetables for only 0.90 Agorat per kilo, and many other attractive promotions.
During the tour of the site, an unusual moment occurred when the mayor entered the butchery department of the Carrefour meat brand 'La Marche' and assisted with customer service. "I saw that help was needed, so I went in," he said with a smile to those present.
The mayor reminded those present that Carrefour won the Israel Basket initiative, and will be cheap on a wide basket of key products.
The opening of the branch joins the trend of Ofakim's economic development in recent years, and symbolizes a significant expansion of shopping and service options for residents of the city and surrounding areas.
