In a significant retail development, Carrefour has officially announced the end of its operations in Oman effective January 7, 2026. The supermarket chain, operated under exclusive rights by Majid Al Futtaim in the Sultanate, shared this emotional farewell through its official social media channels.

The beloved retailer, which has been a household name not just in Oman but across the UAE as well, posted on both Instagram and Facebook: "As of January 7, 2026, Carrefour will cease all its operations in Oman." This statement marks the conclusion of an era for countless loyal customers who have shopped at their stores for generations.

In a heartfelt message to their customer base, Carrefour management expressed deep appreciation: "We would like to extend our sincerest thanks and gratitude for your continued support throughout the decades." The company concluded with warm wishes for all their patrons to remain "well and healthy."

This strategic withdrawal from Oman follows closely after another major market exit when Carrefour announced on November 5, 2024 that it would be discontinuing operations in Jordan as well. Both decisions reflect broader changes in regional retail strategies among international supermarket chains.

Acknowledging potential inconvenience caused by these closures, company representatives stated they "apologize for any inconvenience this decision may have caused," while maintaining focus on expressing gratitude toward customers who supported them through years of service.
