This is the brand's first organic concept store in the region.
Carrefour Bio has 3,000 products, from food and beverages to beauty and home care.
Carrefour Bio specialises in organic, vegan and "free-from" products.
Carrefour Bio in City Centre Me’aisem houses a hydroponic farm.
The hydroponic farm grows leaky greens such as kale and dill.
Pick-by-weight sections seek to reduce waste by allowing customers to bring home their desired quantities of nuts, spices, and dried fruits in recyclable paper bags.
Checkout can be done with recycled paper bags; there are no plastic bags at Carrefour Bio.

The store has a section specifically to support small and medium local businesses.
