Carrefour, Talabat join hands for grocery service

Talabat and Carrefour have joined forces to allow customers to do their grocery shopping on the food delivery app Talabat. Talabat’s partnership with Carrefour is also the first time a food delivery platform in the region has offered a complete grocery delivery option. The new Talabat Grocery service is available as part of Talabat’s existing app, under a new filter card named ‘Grocery’.
