Reading the figures

The 586 stores are a record drawn from Foursquare Open Places, not a count published by the brand — this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish.

The reach indicators — coverage, index by province — are robust to that bias: they measure a distance and a population, which a location described twice does not move. Recorded 11 September 2026.

Frequently asked questions about Carrefour Express in Spain

Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur nos solutions.

How many stores does Carrefour Express have in Spain?

The record of 11 September 2026 identifies 586 Carrefour Express stores in Spain, across 46 provinces. This is a record, not an official count: this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish. The figure serves to compare networks rather than to count stores.

What share of Spain does Carrefour Express reach?

46 % of the population lives within 5 kilometres of a Carrefour Express, and 59.9 % within 10 kilometres. Coverage counts each population cell once, however many locations reach it, which makes it insensitive to the double-counting that affects raw location totals.

Is Carrefour Express denser in Spain or in France?

Per 100,000 inhabitants, Carrefour Express has 1.23 stores in Spain against 1.19 in France — a density 4 % higher. Both records come from the same source and the same method, which is the condition for the gap to mean anything.
