Trans Retail, part of business tycoon Chairul Tanjung’s CT Corp business group, plans to open 10 more Transmart Carrefour outlets in the country’s major cities this year as part of the company’s program to gain a stronger foothold in the retail business.

Transmart Carrefour corporate communications general manager Satria Hamid said that since the start of this year, Trans Retail had launched three outlets in Balikpapan, Palembang and Jakarta, and in the next nine months it planned to open seven outlets in major cities, such as Manado and Surabaya.

“With the launching of the three new outlets, we already have a total of 91 outlets across the country,” Satria said on Friday, adding that the new outlets used a new retail concept combining hypermarkets, entertainment, food and fashion in one area.
